Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* Henry Chamberlain writes in approving fashion of the Seymour Chwast crowd-funder currently going.

* that nice man Robert Clough has let everyone know he and his family could use some help. Clough is a writer-about-comics whose invaluable focus is reviews of early work from mostly young cartoonists.

* Vaughn Pinpin could use a few direct donations to relieve pressure brought on by mom's hospital bills.

* most of what I saw on Kickstarter and IndieGoGo that caught my interest were projects that had already met their initial goal: more Farlaine The Goblin, the latest Brian Pulido, ChaosLife, one from Jess Fink, the latest from digitalmanga and a sixth volume of Skin Horse. The ones I saw that caught my eye that weren't past their goal are from Abby Howard and Adam Casey, mostly just because I thought I recognized the names. I have to admit, I've been looking at these sites once a week for a couple of years now, and I still have a hard time finding a variety of distinctive work to spotlight just by being sold on the look of the material.

* I think the cartoonist Julia Wertz is still funding a move and I believe that there are now book bundles of various sorts at her Etsy store in support of that effort.

* finally, Alex Hoffman has a Patreon now.
