Charity Auction for Connie

By Ed Brayton

I have written before about my friend Connie and her medical problems and you've been very generous in helping out with them over the years. Barry Deutsch, a great political cartoonist, and illustrator Bill Mudron were kind enough to do a one-of-a-kind cartoon for us to auction off to help raise money to pay for the medical equipment her insurance will not cover, which is quite substantial.

You may know Barry Deutsch better as Ampersand from Amptoons. He is an award-winning cartoonist, having won the Charles M. Schulz award. His work has been widely published, but it appears almost exclusively online and in publications. It is very rare that one of his cartoons is done on paper, as this one is. You can see the cartoon here. It's actually a commentary on Connie's situation and the evils of insurance companies.
