* here's a kickstarter for a tribute book focused on Mercyful Fate, featuring many of your southern California cartooning all-stars.
* the Trickster fundraiser seems to be progressing at a decent pace. That's the comics salon that runs concurrently with Comic-Con International. The thing to watch there is the number of high-end premiums, basically taking the form of advanced class advisory sessions with super-established pros.
* finally, the Cerebus-related fundraiser is at about 600 percent of its desired goal. This doesn't surprise me; I think Sim is perfectly suited for Kickstarter given the esteem with which he's held by his fans.
