that I read and I'm a cygwin developer]

One of my favorite comic strips is going web-only next month
and the author is looking for funding:

http://www.cowandboy.com/

I am going for the gold plan so I have some artwork to hang in my
office.

How cool would it be to raise enough money to have a Cygwin Hippo
included in the comic?

I think it is a cool idea.  I would probably pitch in for this if you
or someone else setup a donation pool for it.

I just emailed the author.  Maybe we could earmark contributions for
"Cygwin the Hippo" and if we hit $300 we'd get a new character.

Or, maybe it would be better to see how much interest there is here
first before having people commit to something.

Anyone else interested?  My son is a graphic artist so, besides being a
big fan of the strip, I'm really interested in helping this guy out.
