We all lost an inspiration and mentor today with the passing of Stan Lee.
This current week's contest will be carried on as usual.
However, please be forewarned that for the next two weeks, starting with episode 19, we will have our first content guidelines for cartoon submission.
I would like you to either

1. Draw inspiration from the legacy of Stan Lee for your original cartoon, or
2. Use as inspiration the word "thankfulness"

Thank you for your submissions!
Be sure to enter the week 17 contest, which is already posted!

He does all of his own artwork in his posts, which range in topic from comic to tragic.
