		<description><![CDATA[Today is Nation Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Were you aware that slavery still existed? Were you aware that <a href="http://love146.org/slavery">27 million people</a> around the world are currently enslaved? Or that the majority of those fellow human beings being  bought and sold are women and girls trafficked into the commercial sex industry?

If you were not aware, you are now.

Over 80 webcomics creators including fellow Girlamatic creators: KT Shy (<a href="/shrubmonkeys">Shrub Monkeys</a>), Traci Spencer (<a href="/compass">Compass</a>), and Matt Bayne, whose comic (<a href="kots">Knights of the Shroud</a>) is about a group of young women fighting to end slavery, participated in the <a href="http://comicalliance.weebly.com">Comic Creator's Alliance</a>.

The <a href="http://comicalliance.weebly.com">Comic Creator's Alliance</a>, began by Lora Innes (The Dreamer), gathered the talents of <a href="http://comicalliance.weebly.com/character-list.html">87 webcomics creators</a> who all contributed an illustration of one of their female characters to a group "shot" desktop available with donation to the drive.

The drive will aid two organizations to stop human trafficking. 100% of all donations will be divided equally between <a href="http://love146.org/">Love146.org</a> &#38; <a href="http://gracehavenhouse.org/">Grace Haven House</a>. These organization fight everyday to help victims regain their lives and fight human trafficking.

Please, today, make a donation to the <a href="">Comic Creator's Alliance</a>.
And if you want to know more about the reality of modern slavery please visit <a href="http://love146.org/">Love146</a> and read their extensive archive of personal accounts and statistics.

Thank you for your help!]]></description>

Many, many apologies for the delay of this episode. We had encountered technical difficulties like you wouldn&#8217;t believe, and Svet&#8217;s an utter sweetheart to bear with it all. To make up for this, dear listeners, stay tuned for outtakes and goofiness at the veeeeeeeeery end of the podcast.
People, if you only knew what goes on behind the scenes over here.
Thanks again to Deb Aoki for mentioning Svet&#8217;s return to Girlamatic, and don&#8217;t forget to check out this spotlight interview of Svet!</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope everyone is having a great winter break!
If you're snowed in, or waiting for snow that never comes, make sure to call those you care about and spend time with them! Time is precious, and because of that, Girlamatic.com's artists are still hard at work producing awesome comics! But also, it is a time to spend with family, and think about the new year and all the awesome things to happen!

Hope Hanukkah was good to you as well as a bountiful Yule tomorrow!

Thanks to many of you who sent your comics for review. Remember they won't be accepted unless they are sent in a professional manner in a complete pitch, and a reason why you think GAM is the best home for your comic! And remember have more than a few pages. We need to see that you're into the project and you're serious. Please use <a href="http://webcomicsnation.com">Webcomics Nation</a> as an awesome free platform to start developing your audience!  

I'll be sure to get back to you after the Holidays!
More new things coming your way in 2010! From all of us to all of you!
Thanks for reading and supporting your favorite artists and comics!
We want to hear more from you as well!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! See you in 2010!!
