By Request Extra: A Few Random Notes On A Tuesday

* Broken Frontier's effort to do an anthology could use your attention.

* I'm still appreciative that Jon Goldwater and Alex Segura were kind enough to work with me on yesterday's post about their Kickstarter. Plunging through the Internet that second link at 9:00 AM ET would indicate they're at about $25K. I'm not sure how crowd-funders work anymore, but at one time that would have been a low amount for a successful one early in its run. We'll see. They have a lot of goodwill built up and a fervent fan base. It is not one in which I am interested, although I think those comics could do reasonably well as a standard publishing project.

* Stephanie McMillan is doing a desk calendar. I'm told that one thing to which you should pay attention when you're looking at projects is at what level you get the physical product involved and with McMillan that looks at about $20, with some discounting in the early stages.

* I hadn't noticed until just now that Comix Experience has added a kids' club to its book-club based mechanism to solve its staffing issues brought about by a raise in the minimum wage.
