      Official Press Release

      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

      BURBANK, CA – January 20, 2010 - On Thursday, January 21, the National Cartoonists Society Foundation (NCSF) will be launching a fund-raising auction of original art by America's top cartoonists who donated their work to help one of their own in his time of need.

      In August of 2009, Matthew Hodge, the teenage son of former Disney and Veggie Tales artist Tim Hodge, was in a car accident involving a train in rural Tennessee placing him into a coma. After the initial stay in the hospital, the Hodge's short term insurance policy wouldn't cover Matthew's long-term recovery at a nursing care facility, calling his coma a "pre-existing" condition.

      Matthew Hodge was an A student at Page High School in Franklin, Tennessee, where he enjoyed being a part of the drumline in their championship marching band. This season, the band won their sixth consecutive Division II State Championship while Matthew's drums were silent.

      The cartooning world has rallied around Tim and his family to raise funds needed to help them through their tragedy. Over 100 artists have donated 170 items of original art from comic strips, comic books, children's books, animation, and sculpture that will begin to be listed on eBay on January 21.

      One of the auction’s organizers, former Disney director Tony Bancroft (“Mulan”) worked with Tim Hodge. “I’ve known the Hodges for over a decade, and they are kind and generous people that will always help their neighbors,” said Bancroft, “It’s time that we help them.”

      While many of the artists do not know Tim Hodge personally, the kinship of one of their own going through this difficult time resonates with every one of them. Jean Schulz, widow of "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz, said, "Please know my heart goes out to Matthew and his family and I wish them well on their road to recovery."

      Highlights in this international fundraiser include:


      • A drawing of "Charlie Brown" by Charles Schulz
      • A drawing of "Wallace & Gromit" by creator Nick Parks
      • An illustration by renowned movie poster illustrator Drew Struzan ("Indiana Jones," "Back to the Future")
      • Sketches by "Hellboy" creator Mike Mignola
      • An original comic strip by "Zits" cartoonists Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott
      • A "Simpsons" poster signed by the voice cast and creator Matt Groening
      • A drawing by Pixar's Golden Globe winning "Up" director Pete Docter
      • An original watercolored strip by "Mutts" cartoonist Patrick McDonnell
      • Spider-man art from creator Stan Lee
      • Animation art by Disney's Glen Keane
      • Several pieces of classic Disney animation art going back to the days of black & white Mickey Mouse cartoons.
      With so many generous donations, the artwork will be posted on eBay in thirds. The first grouping will be listed on January 21 beginning at 10am P.S.T., with subsequent listings on January 28 and February 4. All items for sale may be previewed at www.HelpTheHodges.com.

      Fully tax-deductible donations may be given to Help the Hodges through Paypal on www.HelpTheHodges.com, or by sending a check with "Help the Hodges" written on the subject line to:

        A Note from the Organizer:

        I must say that I'm pleased with the response as well. Looking forward to seeing how these first 50 items do when they end next Sunday. More will be uploaded to eBay on Thursday, including three classic Mickey Mouse production drawings, and I think we just may have a Frank & Ollie Hook & Smee drawing set-up to offer if the donor comes through. Exciting stuff!


        Thanks for your support! Word of mouth is our best friend!
