No Laughing Matter

Hey gang.

As you have probably guessed by now, we here at Squishy Comics offer a particular view to the world that is both humorous and engaging. Both Dave and I hope that you enjoyed today's strip and that it offers a brief respite from your daily grind. Having said that, I would also like to state that Dave and I consider the crisis in Japan a very serious matter.

Here is a link to the American Red Cross where you can make a contribution to the relief efforts still ongoing in Japan by either donating money, your blood, or your time and energy. You can also type "japan earthquake relief" into google and you'll get a very large list of organizations that are currently engaged in relief efforts in Japan.

I will leave you with this last comment: I believe that it is extremely easy for people to become completely disconnected to the world given the current plethora of entertainment options out there today. I'm not here to preach to you, but I will say that it is important that we stay engaged with the world around us because it is truly becoming smaller and smaller every day. Even the smallest act of kindness can impact someone's life in a significant way. Turn off the "tube" and get attuned to your community, your people, and your world.

See you next time!
