Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* the GoFundMe campaign to provide assistance to Caanan Grall and his family has doubled up on its initial request. Grall is a webcomics creator who has been diagnosed with brain cancer. I'm sure any amount you'd care to give will be interested.

* artist and writer-about-comics Jesse Hamm has a skill set that seems well-suited to support via Patreon.

* Maryanne Rose Papke could use a white knight. Wes Molebash could also use a push.

* here are some of the Kickstarter campaigns that pop for me -- not that I'm the best curator of crowd-funding projects, but I do come cheap labor-wise when it comes to this site: a new Jess Fink book surged past its initial goal in a few days; I'm not sure I understand this Charlton-related crowdfunder in terms of what you're getting and actually funding, so be careful; that comic book convention survival guide stalled out a bit and could use a boost if that's something that interests you; this Rozi Hathaway project has already met its goal; and, finally, here's a rare non-publishing comics project that seems to have found some traction (a comics cafe in Gothenburg).

* finally, this Kickstarter campaign for She Changed Comics will likely end at six to seven times what was originally asked.
