I would like to invite you to take part in the new International Comics & Cartoons community, BuzziNews.

Hello

I would like to invite you to take part in the new International Comics & Cartoons community, BuzziNews.

The vision of the BuzziNews portal is to convey a positive outlook on current world, business, sports and entertainment events in a language that`s understandable to e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e – comics and caricatures. BuzziNews is a business with clear social objectives: 25% of the portal`s revenues will be awarded to the illustrators who contribute their time and talent to the portal, and 50% of the portal`s net profits will be donated to charity.

BuzziNews has initiated the `Good Word` worldwide comics illustration project. We invite you to say a good word through illustration about all the positive things that surround you or choose a less-traveled road and find the positive side of something that upsets you, a singer with a failed album, a disappointing team or coach, an irritating company, a business rival.
