***Please scroll down to the bottom of this post for an important new auction!***

For quite some time now, I have been searching for a charity to get myself, and the LFG community involved in. As it happens, I found one really close to home, called ‘Le Cafe’.

Le Cafe has a very simple goal. Twice a week, they serve dinner to anyone who needs it. No matter age, religious or national affiliations, no matter who you are, if you are hungry, if your family is hungry, come to Le Cafe. They will feed you.

And that, well, that’s something I can get behind.

Aside from volunteering my personal time at this organization, we wanted to see what we could to raise money for this service. Rather than a simple donation drive, we thought to do something a little different, and with that, I present the first LFG Charity Auction.

5 very talented artists donated their time and materials to create 5 original, and very unique takes on the LFG world. Each piece is a one of a kind creation signed by the creator.

Through Ebay, we will be auctioning off these 5 pieces beginning immediately, with the auction ending in 7 days. Please note that there are NO shipping charges, as we will cover the costs to ship this item to you, no matter where in the world you might be.

If the pieces alone aren’t enough, we are also including LFG Volume 1 & 2 (signed by Lar and I), along with a Richard Figurine with each painting.

And now, enough of my chatting, let’s see what we have, shall we?

Special Auction!

In addition to the art, Lar and I have decided to auction something ourselves. We are now auctioning the right to get killed by Richard in an upcoming Looking for Group comic. The winning bidder will guest star in LFG, as well as receive a framed copy of his/her appearance.

This is a once in a lifetime thing we're doing, so if you've ever thought about facing off with Richard, now's the time to bid.

Please bid generously, as 100% of the proceeds go to feeding people, children, who sorely need it.

Let the auction begin!

[Teflon Jeff]

Hmm, that Richard one is tempting...

I wonder how mad my Wife will be, considering the last expenditure...

[AJH]

It is awesome you guys are doing this. Thanks for your generosity and keep up the great work!

[DastardlyOldMan]

Can we provide a picture of a friend instead, as a gift-type-thing? I'd much rather see one of my friends killed by Richard than myself.

[Novalyyn]

Omg, murdered? That's gotta be the most interesting auction thing I've ever heard of. LFG's gotta be on of the few that can pull that off... XD 'Tis awesome.

But bidding is already over $300, and I is broke. And jobless. And several thousand dollars in debt. o.x And that prolly makes things sound worse than they really are... ^^;

Ignore me. *nods*

[The Variola Drag...]

I love seeing my painting up there. It's in good company. Good work, guys!

[AliCat]

Ahh... It would be awesome to get killed by Richard!

Oh to be a poor college student......

[Fizz]

That is a great auction! I've been a long time reader, first time poster. Though I do not have the funds to be slaughtered by the all mighty Richard, I am interested in donating to the charity either way. It sounds like a worthy cause, and kudos to you guys for getting behind it! So, as a suggestion on how to generate more revenue for the charity, maybe make up a donator wallpaper that a base donation of, say $1-$5 will get you a digital copy (assuming Lar doesn't have enough on his plate atm lol). I have seen it work with some success and might entice a few of your viewing base. either way i would like to make a donation. How can they be contacted and where can i send a donation?

[Temperjoke]

If I wasn't so broke I would totally participate in this, because its such a good cause, and it would be interesting to see the creative way Richard comes up with to kill the lucky winner! ;_;

[yolei36]

I think this is the greatest idea. Though I do agree with Fizz, being a poor college student I can't afford those auction prices but I would still like to contribute something. I find that this is a very great idea and would love to show my support hopefully there is someway that I can afford. I hope the auctions go well though!

*silently curses self for not being old enough to buy/auction stuff from the intarwebs*

[SpecimenNo.666]

Ack. I would so love to post an auction for the Richard Murder but I don't get paid till the 15th. Stupid Government... ER...I mean uhm...I love my government?

Anyway! First post here, just had to say something about the Richard bit, I really love the Gid + Sooba picture too. Once again...Stupid Government!
Although I geuss I can't complain I'm 16 and make 15$ an hour. Great comics by the way, I love LFG and LICD.

[Michael Howe]

I'm the only one who did charcoal? >.> I feel so small... XD

Great job, guys! I feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that something I did is gonna feed people.

[Marcus]

holy cow guys, this is brillianté. got a bid already at $355 US, thats amazing, hopefully you guys get much more, very honorable endeavor. my hat is off to you guys. and ive got a early CONGRATS to the GENEROUS winner of this awesome auction item. if only i had the saving/spending ability to place my bid. that is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. very clever guys. good on ya!

[Bloodharp]

This is a great thing to be doing. I would definitely get behind you if you do anything else like this. Ill definitely take a peak at those auctions though.

[Doom_Bunny]

Yay!!! My painting!
I have No patience, The waiting Was horrible!!

Lets make it Big!

[Fizz]

so yeah, i tried to google it, and come up with nothing about them, though i found quite a few other references to Le Café (some adult oriented lol) trying to help you guys from having to do too much etc. still nothing. is there a website or anything i can do to help? no way can i afford to get into an auction, but i can donate $10 or something. anyways, if you have to time or contact info, let me know!

[Lyseria]

I signed up just to say that I find this to be absolutely absurd; what kind of a person would bid on a whim just to be murdered in a comic?! That is ridiculous!! And you should be ashamed.


.......it's by Richard eh?

Let me break open my piggie bank.


((LOL ::: I hope everyone understands my first paragraph was a joke. I would so start bidding if I could...))

[Ashamaly]

Awww... that auction idea is simply amazing! If only i had the money to give the getting killed to my boyfriend for his birthday.... -.- He'd love it more than anything! Sadly, the amount is just too high for me anymore... but I'm glad to see the money going to something so good. ^.^

I wish luck to everyone on the auctions and (from one artist to another) beautifuly done artwork... everyone of them!

[Silverstar]

*jawdrop* It's already up to $1,525.00!!
