Still looking for that special gift to complete your holiday shopping?

Get your favorite Bankruptcy Bill cartoon or haiku on a mug, tie, tote bag, mousepad or anything else at www.zazzle.com/bankruptcy_bill.

This cartoon ran in today’s NYT Op-Ed section and, while not about the bankruptcy process, definitely ties into the bankruptcy theme.

A reminder that we still are seeking STR.I.P. Financing so that we can continue to publish future strips of Bankruptcy Bill (and preferably with more frequency).  Please contact us to discuss sponsorship.  And thanks to everyone who has contributed and/or bought some merchandise.

• If you like the latest strip, please click HERE to make a donation to us via Amazon’s Honor System (a sort of online tip jar).
• “Debtor Education” Mugs – now available for purchase at http://www.zazzle.com/mug_debtor_education-168604062506629816.
• To receive updates for new postings: E-mail bill@bankruptcybill.us with the word “update” in the subject field, or get the RSS feed.

Thanks!

p.s.  Regarding copyright issues, our legal counsel, IP Aileen, says:  “Other bloggers/websites/publications:  You are more than welcome to post Strip #7 on your sites as long as you also include all of the text, links and images in this post, including this paragraph.  If you don’t, then we’ll find you and make you sit through a mandatory debtor eduction session presented in Pig Latin or some other non-Western language.”

Turns out there was at least one bankruptcy lawyer cartoon before Bankruptcy Bill.  Can’t tell what year it was published, but given the woman’s outfit, perhaps the 1970s?  Just a guess, as fashion is not our field of expertise here.

If you know of any other bankruptcy lawyer cartoons, please feel free to share by e-mailing bankruptcybill /at/ zoho /dot/ com.

Reminder that we’re still seeking sponsors/advertisers.  With a little STR.I.P. Financing, we could be putting cartoon strips out several times a week.

Who would make a good sponsor?  Anyone interested in reaching the community of bankruptcy professionals (one of the few populations that still has buying power).  Or anyone in the bankruptcy community who would like to support continued growth of this cartoon.

For those of you fortunate enough to be subscribers to Bankruptcy Court Decisions Weekly News & Comment, take a look at the November 25, 2008 issue for a nice article on Bankruptcy Bill written by Kate Colangelo that’s running on page 6.  (No, not that page 6.)

And for those of you who are not subscribers, hang tight as we’re seeing if we can get permission to post the article on this site at some point in the near future.
