A shipment of art has gone missing from @dannyearls16 en route from Ireland to the US. At this point, it is more likely to be missing than stolen. But if anyone sees the attached pieces anywhere, PLEASE let us know. You will be rewarded! Thanks! felixcomicart.com

To all my artist friends and wonderful people I have met in the industry. Recently I shipped original artwork to my brilliant rep @FelixComicArt and it has been lost in transport!
I'd be so grateful if you brought it to my attention if you see these anywhere online! Thank you🙏

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.
It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.
Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.
Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.
The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.
It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.
The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.
When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Give me the kind of good news from around the world that nobody ever talks about... but should.

It is all weird since I know them both, so hoping this works out- being a backer myself. I hate when this kind of stuff happens since most of my work these days is through Kickstarter...so we wait and see.

@Lie_Felled Notice HE never declares verifiable print runs on his own book or alleged sales data either, besides touting pumped up “fake” sales numbers from signed or sketched direct sales. Sad.

It’s an industry wide conspiracy. The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires are keeping Youngblood down!

Positively Liefeldian 🚫🦶@Lie_Felled
Always the victim, our Rob.
