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

* this note come from Ron Turner via Charles Brownstein, on the great S. Clay Wilson. "S. Clay had successful surgery this morning at SF General. He had been having pressure on his brain from fluid build up. This was causing major problems. I think, (I haven't seen him yet, as he is in recovery) that they would put stints in his head to drain the excessive fluid. We all wish him well. Lorraine noticed the problem and got him to the Doctors quickly. The
S. Clay Wilson special needs trust can always use some donation if you can. I will update later." Wilson is one of the crucial figures in 20th Century cartooning, and all that money goes straight to his care.
* as always, we look in on the status of publishing projects from indy veteran
Batton Lash, alt-comics giant
Jim Woodring, and small-press institution
Sparkplug Books. They could all use some attention; they're all going reasonably well. The Batton Lash one is probably successful at the point this post rolls out (I'm writing this Sunday morning), but Batton's good people and there are still inducements to be had.
