Check it out: it's an awesome sketch of Henry P. McCoy and a chance to give hope to kids with cancer! This awesomely awesome Beast sketch is by illustrator Brandon Dawley, who's raising money for The St. Baldrick's Foundation by shaving his head in solidarity with the kids, and collecting donation money to support the cause. As an added bonus, if you donate twenty bucks or more, Brandon will draw you a sketch of your favorite comic-book superhero! (Who better to shave himself for kids than the remarkable furry Hank McCoy, huh?) Brandon sez:
Over 15 years ago I was diagnosed with a Giant Cell Tumor (benign) in the bone of my right hip. It ended up having to be replaced with a titanium ball and stem. Now my mother calls me 'half-assed'. Anyways, that's my personal connection, but what better reason to help the cause of cancer research than shaving your head to stand in solidarity for these children. Do as little or as much as you can–I'll take the buzz.

I am declaring, in honor of these SUPER-heroic children, that every person who donates $20 or more will get a mini-sketch of their favorite comic book superhero illustrated by me. Everyone who donates gets a personalized thank you card anyways, but wouldn't it be even better if you received something to put on your fridge?
Fantastic sketch, wonderful cause, and I'm delighted to participate. Your donations do help: the St. Baldrick's Foundation uses the donations to fund more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the United States Government. Thank you for the sketch, Mister D, but most of all thanks for letting me help out these brave kids!
