What inspired you this year to be a hero?

One of the major areas that got slighted for the second year because of the pandemic were donations to animal charities. So we at borg are endorsing and hoping you’ll support all the worthy groups below that try to help those that can’t help themselves. Please help give them a chance.

You don’t need superpowers to change the world.

You can change the world one dollar at a time. And it may even help your own pocketbook if you make charitable contributions by the end of the month for your next tax filing. Also, consider the wildlife and strays in your neighborhood and yard and put out a heated water bowl (available here at Amazon and pet stores for $20 or less) to help thirsty critters get through the winter, and consider a cat shelter for your yard (find instructions here).

So change the world. Please support the following awesome organizations:

Bat Conservation International

American Anti-Vivisection Society

REGAP

Best Friends Animal Society Sanctuary

Frankie’s Friends

Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary

Check out these great charities today and give if you can.

It’s been a heckuva year. One of the major areas that got slighted because of the pandemic–because of job losses and attention to political and other matters–were donations to animal charities. So we at borg are endorsing and hoping you’ll support all the worthy groups below that try to help those that can’t help themselves. Please help give them a chance.

Tellos Returns–Unprecedented fantasy volume to feature more than 200 artists

Filed under: Comics & Books, Con Culture, Fantasy Realms — Leave a comment

February 20, 2017

A secret project nearly three years in the making was shared this month with the announcement of a tribute to the artist who created the fantasy comic book series Tellos. Artist Mike Wieringo, a friend of many, died from a heart attack in 2007 and the industry banded together as the “Secret Friends of Ringo” led by Tellos writer Todd Dezago to create a heretofore undisclosed tribute project and give something to one of Wieringo’s favorite causes in the process. The Mike Wieringo Tellos Tribute is a giant 500 page, original graphic novel to be released in two over-sized, hardcover volumes. It features the artwork of more than 200 of the comics industry’s most popular and talented artists, dedicated to the memory of Wieringo, with all proceeds from this project being donated to the ASPCA.

The Mike Wieringo Tellos Tribute continues the adventures of characters in the original Tellos series created by Wieringo and Dezago and published by Image Comics (and briefly by Gorilla Comics): Jarek—a young hero with “magikal” abilities, Koj—a tiger-warrior who is Jarek’s partner and protector, Serra—the swashbuckling pirate queen, and Rikk—the fox-thief bent on finding his fortune. The original comic book series of ten issues ran from 1999 to 2000. Three one-shot issues followed: Maiden Voyage, The Last Heist, and Sons and Moons, followed by a three-issue mini-series, Tales of Tellos, in 2004. Not long before he passed away, Wieringo had talked about working on a new Tellos.

You can only order the books at this link. Because of they way the group is providing the proceeds to the ASPCA, these books will not be available through any other source.

PSA–A quick shout-out to Smokey the Bear and the ASPCA

Filed under: Con Culture — Leave a comment

April 10, 2013

When we launched borg.com nearly two years ago we hoped we’d pick up some good sponsors for our readers. We couldn’t be happier to have ads at borg.com for Smokey the Bear in support of fire prevention and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), as well as the American Red Cross, adoptuskids.org, and alz.org–the Alzheimer’s Association.

Even if it isn’t your normal time of the year to donate to charities, when you see ads for these causes at borg.com check them out if only to get up to speed on all the good they are doing throughout the year.

We couldn’t ask for better, worthwhile causes to throw our support behind!
