Your Spring 2008 Xeric Grant Winners

I always get a little confused with the Xeric Award, but I think this is a brand new. The Xeric Foundation has announced its latest round of grant recipients. The foundations, created by Peter Laird, has been in existence in 1992. It provides financial assistance to cartoonists to self-publish early work, and also donates to charities in western Massachusetts. Among the past recipients are Jessica Abel, Nick Bertozzi, Warren Craghead, Ellen Forney and Farel Dalrymple. Marek Bennett and Dave Kiersh are among the better-known names on this list, which follows:

* Gary Scott Beatty, Jazz: Cool Birth
* Marek Bennett, Breakfast at Mimi's Doughnuts
* Eroyn Franklin, Another Glorious Day at the Nothing Factory
* Jason Hoffman, Mine
* Jack Hsu, 8-9-3
* Jenny Jaeckel, Spot 12
* Dave Kiersh, Dirtbags, Mall Chicks and Motorbikes
* Alex Kim, Wall City
* stef lenk, TeaTime
* Justin Murphy, Cleburne
* Felix Tannenbaum, The Chronicles of Some Made

This large group of grants puts the Foundation over $2 million in awards. The next deadline is September 30, winners to be announced November 1.
