Guess whose back? That’s right Ken “Value Added” Steacy from Ken Steacy Publishing, of course.

For those of you new to Desert Bus Ken Steacy has been supporting us since the beginning. He is a member of the Canadian Comic Book Creator’s Hall of Fame, won a Shuster Award, and is Alex’s dad! He is best known for his work on NOW comics Astro Boy and Comico’s Jonny Quest.

Every year with Ken has been full of surprises and delight and we’re sure this year will be no different. We are thankful for Ken’s continued wonderful support.

The Ken “Value Added” Steacy Effect

So, Ken Steacy came in and did his Ken Steacy thing. If you don’t know what that means, well, it goes like this: Ken Steacy, father to LRR stalwart Alex Steacy, is a longtime supporter of Desert Bus For Hope, and each year comes in with a caravan of treasures from his storied career in art and illustration. We auction them all off, and when the dust settles, somehow  that number in the top-left corner of the screen has increased by a cool 40,000 or so.

Yes, that number up there

Huge thanks again to Ken Steacy for helping us once again!

So Ken Steacy came by with a veritable King Solomon’s Mines of his incredible treasures.

His twelve sensational lots brought in a cool

$25,112.78

To write that in words, like I do on my rent cheques, that’s

Twenty-five thousand, one hundred twelve dollars

and seventy-eight cents

Not bad for a few hours’ work (plus thousands of hours of a true artisan labouring at his craft etc., etc., blah blah blah).

Thanks Ken, from everyone at Desert Bus for Hope! You’re our hero!

†Assured to be much longer than an hour.

IT BEGINS
