By Request Extra: Marguerite Dabaie On Samandal

The cartoonist and illustrator Marguerite Dabaie has written an article over at Hooded Utilitarian bringing back under the spotlight the Samandal fundraiser at IndieGoGo. The Beirut publisher was fined for isolated content in their last issue in a way that makes a next issue harder to do.

Between the those two links I think just about anyone could make the appraisal they need to make, from whatever vantage point they might engage with any of the politics involved, to know if they want to be involved. There aren't many politically-tinged things I know of where less speech, less art, is a desirable outcome. This also seems like a fairly priced-out anthology with a track record and something specific to offer world comics. You'll even given a part-time job. Also remember that with IndieGoGo, the money is kept even if the asked-for amount is not reached, so there doesn't need to be any strategizing there. Joe Sacco and Omar Khouri are among the artists whose work is being used as incentives.
