Baby Blues News: Help veterans | Appear in a strip | Same day strips | Contests | Calendars

by Rick Kirkman And Jerry Scott

Help wounded veterans, get your name in a Baby Blues strip and own the original art, too! You can do that all with the click of a mouse. That’s powerful.

Time is running out! Bidding ends just before midnight December 6, 2012—Guardian Ball Auction. Highest bid will have your name (or names of your children or gift recipient/their children) in the strip and will receive the original art for that strip. Proceeds go to the Wyakin Warrior Foundation (Learn more) to provide scholarships and mentorship to wounded veterans. It’s a fantastic program. I just got back from the Inaugural Guardian Ball for the Foundation and got to meet some of the participants in the program: A great group of highly motivated men and women who served our country and deserve our help.

Baby Blues strips—No waiting! Our strips are now published on BabyBlues.com the same day as the newspaper! No more two-week delay on the web site for Baby Blues strips.

Coming soon! More chances to win signed BBXX books The publisher sent me a box of books that was damaged in shipping. It’s not major stuff, and it seems confined to the covers and the spines. Even the worst ones look kind of like a baby might have gotten ahold of them and tried to teethe on them. But our misfortune is your gain. We’ll be running some contests so these books won’t go to waste. Stay tuned! Look for the first one December 22nd.

Don’t forget…time is running out to have your 2013 Day-to-Day Baby Blues Calendar in time for the new year. Available online or in some book stores. Also available online in Kindle edition.
