Paul Madonna Needs Your Help
November 21, 2022 10:34 AM   Subscribe

San Francisco Cartoonist Paul Madonna was in a serious accident, and his wife set up a GoFundMe. From the GoFundMe page: On Sunday, Nov 6, our friend, author and artist Paul Madonna (All Over Coffee) was involved in a hit-and-run accident. He was driving home from his studio, as he did daily, in his SmartCar through McLaren Park when he was struck head-on by a Mercedes Benz driving in the wrong lane at approximately 65 mph.

(cont'd)
Fortunately, three sisters on their way to the grocery store happened to witness the event and immediately sprung into action. They called 911 while the driver of the car fled the scene. They then called Paul’s wife Joen, who rushed to the horrific scene within minutes, given that their home was less than a mile away. She was able to be by Paul’s side as he was lifted into the ambulance.

He's dealing with serious injuries, and he's not rich. I've always loved his work, and he's been so gracious to his fans. Previously. Previouslier.

Are we just letting fundraising posts on the Blue now? I know there was one we let go because reasons but we've had two more since then.

I don't mind fundraising posts, but this feels like a change in site policy.

Sorry, I didn't realize that was a site policy. Mods, please remove if that's a problem.

I figured that since he's a noted, beloved artist, this was worthy of a post.
