By Request Extra: Julia Wertz’s Impossible People Fundraising

The cartoonist Julia Wertz is raising money for the completion of her once-abandoned, now-resurrected
Impossible People, a planned follow-up to her well-regarded
Drinking At The Movies. I guess a big chunk of it was done and then she decided not to proceed further. She needs to revisit the work, expand it, change some things. I think any artist that's working with material that potentially strong and personal is almost best served by a complicated relationship to getting that work done. It indicates that the cartoonist will know the final product worth publishing; it wasn't just the next book.
Wertz is raising money for the book, but unsurprisingly doing it on her own. If you're a fan, I'll hope you visit. I contributed a tiny, mockable amount yesterday so please do better than I did. This is a big year for finding ways to support the art you like that isn't putting off those payment into the future or assuming that someone else will at some point give that artist you like some money. It's also a big year in comics for finding modest, creative ways to help. In that sense, Wertz has done a lot of the work for you.
