By Request Extra: Steve Hamaker Launches Plox Crowdfunder

imageMy personal gaming experiences ended at a tabletop role-playing session in 1982 and never had a serious digital, on-line element despite the occasional visit to the world of whatever in decidedly non-ambitious ways a couple times a year since. Steve Hamaker's PLOX still feels real according to my projected experiences I might have had in that milieu had I stuck around. I can imagine being one of its older, weary supporting cast. The strip is convincingly set in Columbus, my new home.

Hamaker, known best for his color work during several years at Cartoon Books, is one of the cartoonists that enters into a crowd-funding stage during a point in his work's development where publishing would be beneficial both as a way to reward older readers with a permanent milestone and as yet another way to build incremental momentum for the project entire. I've been terrible with the By Request column as I make my shift into concurrent publication, but I didn't want to miss out on driving some attention to Hamaker's solo work.
