On August 22, 2009 Matthew Hodge, the 17-year-old son of former Disney story artist and Big Idea productions director Tim Hodge, was in a serious auto accident. A train struck his car at 50mph as he was crossing the tracks. While Matt suffered neither broken bones nor any internal organ damage, he did receive severe head trauma causing him to remain in a state of coma today. The Hodges have limited medical insurance and struggle to pay the bills for Matt’s recovery.

To help cover the costs, the Hodges, along with the National Cartoonist Society Foundation are auctioning off an incredible collection of original art from a variety of cartoonists and animators. Website: Help the Hodges. Action: Help the Hodges on eBay.

Some of the work being auctioned: original art by artists such as Charles Schulz, Patrick McDonnell, and Craig McCracken, and a variety of signed posters, DVDs, and books.
