Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding

By Tom Spurgeon

image* my peer Rob Clough, known to many of you as a key criticial voice particularly for his attention to younger cartoonists and early efforts, has asked for attention to some fundraising on his behalf. I know how much Rob enjoys that trip to SPX, so I'm guessing this is an urgent request. Most requests are.

* the kickstarter for a Best Of The Nib was successful sometime between last Friday and Saturday, I think, but that doesn't mean you won't want to put in for something they're offering.

* the current ongoing project of most interest to I'm guessing the most people is like this one to place Barefoot Gen into libraries and schools. That is an extremely unsettling but bracing work to read when you're a kid, as a lot of us can attest. You can see an excerpt up at Fusion.com.

* Steve Hamaker's modestly-budgeted crowd-funder on behalf of his wecomic PLOX is more than halfway home.

* finally, another successful crowd-funder is in its last hours: Baggywrinkles.
