For those of you new to Desert Bus, Ken Steacy has been supporting us since the beginning. He is a Shuster Award winning member of the Canadian Comic Book Creator’s Hall of Fame, who is perhaps best known for his work on NOW comics Astro Boy and Comico’s Jonny Quest.
Every Desert Bus Ken has visited us with a veritable treasure trove of unique items for us to auction and giveaway. This year he is providing 10 Live Auctions, 10 Silent Auctions, and 10 Giveaway prizes!
We are very thankful for Ken’s continued support of Desert Bus for Hope.
Join us in welcoming Ken back to Desert Bus for Hope tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 14 at 6:00 PM PST as when Ken drops by to live auction off his prizes!
We had a couple of regular Stan Lee’s in chat for Matt’s art challenge. You all submitted some great covers to illustrate what Desert Bus: Civil War would look like. In the end however, just as in Civil War, only one side (or in this case chat member) can win the Marvel Comics Lot.
Congratulations to the winner BeachGnome!
We have our runner ups of TacitusVigil, Littler Lady Hosk, and Josh & Kaitlyn S.
Check the rest below the break!
A is for Apple…

We’ve got a lightning fast Donation Drive coming your way so I’m not gonna waste too much time here! Any donations of $7.49 or multiples there of until 6:00 PM PST will enter you for a chance to win your very own Desert Bus for Hope 10 T-Shirt from Fangamer!
We often get entries for art challenges that are done by some of our younger viewers. We always love to get them and we make sure they go up on the blog for challenges, but it’s not often we get to feature them.
Tally wants to change that.
Tally’s art challenge is going to have TWO winners, one for the “adult” category and one for a “child” category. Tally has created images of the crew members which you can find down below. The challenge is to create a video of these characters in motion.
For all of our adults (who we describe as anyone over the age of 12), the challenge is to create an animation of 10 seconds that is a dance party of at least 3 of the characters. The prize for this is a Custom Cookie Order from Rocky Mountain Cookies.
For our younger viewers (12 and under), the challenge is to make a puppet show ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute. The prize for this challenge is one of our Desert Bus 10 T-Shirts, 2 adorable little plushies and a couple of our Pig Sweetened bookmarks.
Please submit your entries to contest@desertbus.org with the subject line “Animation” or “Kids Animation”. All entries MUST be submitted in either .mov or .mp4 format. This challenge will run until 8 PM PST. As always, we will need display names of the winners to announce!
IMPORTANT: These videos will be potentially shown to the public, so be careful with using names/locations for children/yourself. If you want to just send us a video and not have it be shown please make it clear within the e-mail.
Now that we’ve all recovered from the conclusion of the Bus King pageant, it’s time to send another donation drive your way!
This Desert Bus Cross-Stitch Sampler is a little taste of the history of Desert Bus for Hope. Featuring some choice memes from every year of Desert Bus. 180 hours of cross stitched goodness could be yours in this donation drive.
Any donations of $9.10 or multiples thereof until 5:00 PM PST will get you an entry!
