Well the former Blog@ gang, led by John Parkin and Stephanie Chan, are auctioning off items to raise funds for the Hoffmans, who face months of hospitalization and lost their home. You can check out the first auction here.

If nothing in the auction interests you, stay tuned as we are still getting donations from comics industry pros and publishers. Or, if you’d just like to donate some money to them, you can mail a check to the fund that the Montecito Fire Department set up for them:

The Lance and Carla Burn Fund
Santa Barbara Bank and Trust
1483 East Valley Road
Montecito, CA 93108-1248

Be sure to visit the site that my buddy Parkin has set up for the auctions for updates. And for updates on Carla and Lance, friends and family have set up this site. If you believe in prayer, keep the Hoffmans in your prayers. And if you don’t believe in prayer, think positive thoughts for the Hoffmans’ full recovery. Thanks for any help, no matter what, that you can provide. Thanks.
