Comics By Request—People, Projects In Need Of Funding

* you can donate money to Sandeep Atwal, the young person made homeless by a recent fire that also destroyed a large quantity of work being used to create the digital edition of Dave Sim's High Society book, here.

* you can donate directly to the Aurora Rise charity effort here; they had their big weekend Saturday/Sunday; that's it's own post later on this morning. That's the comics store/fan community that is raising money for victims of that Batman movie-related shooting a few weeks back.

* by the time you read this, the Jim Ottaviani/Natalie Nourigat project will have met its publishing goal. Ottaviani wrote in to confirm that he did do his due diligence in terms of making sure the contracts were fair and straightforward despite the fact that this project is having money raised for it.

* here are a few others on which we've put the spotlight recenty: WatchGuard + Teen Force 5, The Little Women, Detective Honeybear, the Sketchbook Travel Project and The Projects. I also can't imagine Tom Racine will be turning down any monetary assistance any time soon, if you're grateful for the work he's been doing and want to toss him a few bucks and can afford to do so. I'm particularly happy to see The Projects build some momentum, although they could certainly use some attention sooner rather than too much later. Cartoonist and publisher Austin English sent out a letter in support that's posted here. I want that one to succeed because I think we could use alternative models for conventions/festivals. I'm not even sure I'd be all that into the specific alternative being done there, but anything that breaks with the flea-market tradition is welcome.

* finally, here's a not-exactly-comics kickstarter that's successful and is now winding down from cartoonist Isaac Cates that I bet someone out there will want to get in on.
