Comics’ Giving Heart—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

* such is the power of this column that people anticipate the appearance here of projects like the Mark Andrew Smith-written Sullivan's Sluggers and give it tons of money before the column pops back onto the site. You can still jump on board, of course. That's another one for the "figure out what's going on with this stuff" pile.

* Tomorrow Jones made its goal, too, no thanks to me.

* one prominent project out there right now that hasn't caught the imagination of a fervent fan base -- at least not yet -- is a fundraiser for the forthcoming CAKE show, I suppose without knowing for certain because the organizers could use a cash infusion to get that event launched. I'm told the video is very charming, although I haven't caught up to it yet. Chicago could do really well with a small-press show -- it's the kind of city that a lot of people want to visit, and it's the kind of city that hosts hidden reservoirs of comics-making talent -- so I'm all for giving the organizers of this one as much slack as they require.

* I also keep forgetting to mention this festival in Kenosha, which is heading into its final hours short of its goal.

* not comics: as always, I beg your indulgence in that I'd like to mention CR staff photographer Whit Spurgeon's fundraising project for a short film he's making. His first one was good.

* Brian Andersen's project is getting to that crucial, almost-completed stage.
