Well, thanks all - I figured it was something like that. I 'spose I was just trying to fish around to see if any of these had landed in anyones hands yet.

That said, I think I shall add it to my collection while I'm here.

...living vicariously through another's altruism must be a crime worthy of the sixth level of hell in Dante's Inferno. Or maybe worse than ripping off someone else's art. What is that?... level 10?

don't get the "you can't flip charity prints" argument. People that bought them to flip still donated money to charity. If they had not bought them to flip, less money would have gone to charity.

I love Emek's stuff, but as a gig poster guy I bought this solely to donate money.
I thought the run would be 2000....

In theory it's fine, if you dissect the original route of where the money ends up.

In practice, it bothers me. I don't really even know why, but it does. I'm exercising my right to be "irrational."

There's a half-life on tragic events before comedians can use them in jokes. Sometimes a year or more.

I'd say something like that. Wait a year. People forget things fast, but tragedy takes a little bit longer.
