Daddy's Home visits the Gulf

Tony Rubino, creator of the syndicated comic strip, "Daddy's Home" (which appears in more than 200 newspapers and websites, and has a circulation of more than 10 million) has created a week-long series highlighting the oil spill crisis in the Gulf.

All this week, the characters from the syndicated comic strip, “Daddy’s Home,” will spend their summer vacation volunteering in the Gulf of Mexico.

Electing to help with the oil spill clean-up instead of going on a “normal” vacation, the family finds itself cleaning oil covered birds. Artist Tony Rubino’s point is not whether we should or shouldn’t be cleaning the birds, as opinions differ on this (though not if you ask the birds.)

The real point is that we can all do SOMETHING and that “something” is up to the individual.

So, each day this week “Daddy’s Home” suggests a different organization’s website for guidance on how to help – EarthShare will be featured in the July 15 strip!

The choice is up to the individual, but the task is up to us all.  We hope you’ll stop by www.gocomics.com/daddyshome and check it out! The Daddy’s Home gang can also be found in your local newspaper with a new cartoon every day, 365 days a year, rain or shine, oil or not.
