We check back in with our bankruptcy super hero in his battle to save a homeowner against the ominous and powerful Mortgantua.  Things were looking grim, but perhaps there is hope.  Click here for a refresher on ongoing the BAPCPA Man vs Mortgantua saga.

Bankruptcy Bill is pleased to welcome the Credit CARD Act of 2009, which went effective today, February 22, 2010, with an appropriate animated video commentary by Mark Fiore (www.MarkFiore.com).

Update 2/23/10:  Forgot to mention that we saw this video posted originally on the Center for Responsible Lending website:

Here’s another Overruled! cartoon by Joseph Aronds, Esq., Assistant Vice President at Hartz Mountain, whose cartoons have been running for the past two years in the New Jersey Association of Corporate Counsel’s monthly publication ACC Focus on the New Jersey Chapter. Joe was also recently appointed Vice President of Communications for NJCCA, which ran a nice profile of him here.  Joe can be reached at joseph.aronds [at] hartzmountain.com.

Also, thanks to Joe for mentioning Bankruptcy Bill in the Member Notes section of their February 8, 2010 issue.

Apologies for the wait, but we finally have the first new Bankruptcy Bill cartoon of 2010 out, a customized cartoon courtesy of Neiger LLP.

While the Bankruptcy Bill and BAPCPA Man cartoons are on hiatus for another week or so, we thought it would be nice to share another Overruled! cartoon by Joseph Aronds, Esq., Assistant Vice President at Hartz Mountain, whose cartoons have been running for the past two years in the New Jersey Association of Corporate Counsel’s monthly publication ACC Focus on the New Jersey Chapter. Joe was also recently appointed Vice President of Communications for NJCCA, which ran a nice profile of him here.  Joe can be reached at joseph.aronds [at] hartzmountain.com.

Bankruptcy Bill was recently introduced to another lawyer with an affinity for cartoons: 

Joseph Aronds, Esq., Assistant Vice President at Hartz Mountain, has been writing a cartoon called Overruled! for the past two years for the New Jersey Association of Corporate Counsel’s monthly publication ACC Focus on the New Jersey Chapter. Joe was also recently appointed Vice President of Communications for NJCCA, which ran a nice profile of him here.

We asked Joe if he’d be interested in having his cartoons posted on the Bankruptcy Bill site as well and he said, “Sure!”  We hope our readers enjoy the cartoons and would also like to extend special thanks to bankruptcy attorney Sharon Levine of Lowenstein Sandler PC for introducing us.  You can get in touch with Joe at joseph.aronds [at] hartzmountain.com.

(Joe wishes to acknowledge Seth Wimpfheimer’s help with the coloring.)

We’ll be taking a brief hiatus here at Bankruptcy Bill following creator Steven Horowitz’s induction into parenthood on December 28, 2009.  Below is a photo of Steven, his wife Wynne and their new daughter Helen along with BAPCPA Man,Bankruptcy Bill, Struck Finn and illustrator Gideon Kendall taken just one day after the big event.

Feel free to post comments below or send any well wishes to the family at bill@bankruptcybill.us.
