I&#8217;ve decided that watching the news and keeping up to date with the situation is no longer productive, and that instead of worrying and thinking dreadful thoughts, my time will be better off rallying an effort that will hopefully help those in this time of need. <\/p>\n<p>In that spirit, Pikaland will be giving 100% of our net profit from the sale of Tokyo-based artist Mogu Takahashi&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pikabooks.com\/product?product_id=14\">Chotto Omoshiroi poster<\/a> to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifrc.org\/en\/get-involved\/donate\/donation\/?DisasterPageID=51098\">International Federation of Red Cross &#38; Red Crescent Society<\/a>.
