Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

* I hope they bring this shirt back for another round; I think they could sell a lot more than have already been sold. And it's for a great cause!

image* the Seymour Chwast crowd-funder continues to grind its way to its fairly big ask.

* it's been two weeks since this column ran, but a few of the crowd-funders it paid attention to on the 9th are still going now: the Brian Pulido's, the latest volume of Skin Horse, the Abby Howard and one by Adam Casey.

* Julia Wertz had her stoop sale over the weekend, but until she suspends sales I imagine she will use any Etsy sales to further finance her move.

* I don't get a lot of not-comics-itself projects aimed at this weekly post, but here's a crowd-funder for an interview series. That's a reminder I'm a big fan of Gil Roth's Virtual Memories podcast, which is about 1/3 comics-oriented; he has a patreon.

* what's newer that caught my on on Kickstarter: veterans Jan Duursema and John Ostrander on a project; another science comic, which is becoming a sneakily popular sub-category; the latest Erika Moen, crushing it; a sequel project reaching its first goal as I'm typing this; a Jack London adaptation far from its goal and one I hadn't noticed at all from Matt Lubchansky.

* finally, Salgood Sam has a patreon now.
