By Request Extra: A GoFundMe Has Been Established For Geneviève Castrée Elverum



Here. Please read it.

I don't know Geneviève, but we interviewed in 2013 and I thought her book that year, Susceptible, was powerful and affecting -- one of the really fine comics of the decade thus far, the kind of book that gives you an evocative snapshot of someone else's life. I had not heard until this notice that she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

My sense at the time we talked was that she and her husband Phil Elverum were living a quiet and private life oriented towards family and making art. A public plea indicates to me a real need. I hope you'll consider it, and I hope you'll tell everyone you know.

Update: As of 12:30 PM June 2 they have blown past the initial $50K ask and are moving towards $100K, which indicates to me the need was extremely critical. I hope you'll consider giving to this comics-maker and artist, respected and admired by her peers.
