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

* the effort to fund the off-site independent comics social and retail hub Trickster at the forthcoming Comic-Con International has pushed past the halfway point with 12 days left for funding. I think those $300 contribution in exchange for working with a pro on one of your projects sounds like a pretty good value if you're at the point you could use something like that, and it doesn't cost too much relative to the cost of going to San Diego in the first place. I'm also sort of glad they've avoided VIP leveling at the place itself; they could raise some money that way, but it would give the whole effort a different air.

* not comics: hey, a Wayne White documentary effort.

* they are heading into the last few hours on the Cerebus: High Society fundraiser. Dave Sim promises details on how the money will be spent, which I think is a good thing and should be instructive, besides.

* finally, projects involving Micah Wright and P. Craig Russell are in that halfway-there zone that seems crucial for a lot of efforts.
