The Unquotable Trump Donates $11,000 to the ACLU

Posted on by

Drawn & Quarterly has announced that $11,000 has been raised for the ACLU. When R. Sikoryak’s The Unquotable Trump was published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2017, 25% of net proceeds were earmarked for donation to the American Civil Liberties Union.

The ACLU is a civil rights organization focused on defending voting rights of all Americans and a focus on fighting voter suppression and minority vote dilution.

Once the remaining stock of The Unquotable Trump has been sold, the book will go out of print and Drawn & Quarterly anticipates making another donation of approximately $3,000 USD.

Birdcage Bottom Books is Raising Money for the ACLU

Posted on by
Birdcage Bottom Books

Despite economic hardship, Birdcage Bottom Books will be donating proceeds from their publications to the ACLU over the next week. The artists will still receive royalties on their comics.

From the announcement:

This year has been really rough for all of us. I try to stay positive and optimistic, but I’m not going to lie, it has been difficult to maintain in 2020. Although BBB is struggling financially as comic shops close and people’s disposable income dries up, we do want to help those who have struggled not just in 2020 but since they were forced into slavery and have always had the deck stacked against them.

Birdcage Bottom Books is also a distributor, so this only applies to BBB products and not items for other artists and publishers.

You can shop now and see your money go to a good cause.

Southern Bastards Create Charity Variant to Benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center and ACLU

Posted on by

In response to the recent trend toward online harassment, Jason Latour and Jason Aaron’s Southern Bastards #16 issue will feature a special variant cover to benefit charity. The proceeds raised by this variant will be split between the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU.

This special “Don’t Be a Bastard” charity variant cover by series co-creator Latour is part of the ongoing “Roberta Tubb” variant series, showcasing Southern Bastards’ protagonist Roberta Tubb, interpreted by some of comics’ brightest artistic talents.

This is not the first time Latour and Aaron have announced a variant to benefit charity. The Southern Bastards #10 charity variant raised $18,000 for the victims of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church shooting in Charleston, SC.

Southern Bastards is a bestselling, Eisner Award-winning comic series that has been praised for its honest portrayal of Southern culture.

Southern Bastards #16 Cover B “Don’t Be a Bastard” by Latour (Diamond Code NOV168192) will be available on Wednesday, January 11th.
