And Here’s a Cause that DOESN’T Need Your Help…
…because they got more help than anyone expected!
(Though you’re welcome to buy the book when it comes out, of course.)
In the Independent Pavillion at San Diego, one of my former workshop students, the talented Jean Kang, told me about Womanthology and how their Kickstarter had rocketed past its goal.
Phenomena like Kickstarter are among the many reasons I understand and support Peter Laird’s decision to wind down the Xeric Foundation grants. This massive network of talent that we interact with on a daily basis has plenty of homegrown solutions for hungry artists up its sleeve. The days are gone when lone cartoonists had to turn to a lone source for help in entering a single door.
I’m glad Xeric was there all these years, but I’m happier still that there’s still so much more potential on the horizon.

Update: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WINTER! Our little girl is 16 years-old today, and visiting NYC with her Mom (Sky got Shanghai with Dad, so Winter asked for Broadway and there’s no way Ivy would pass up that trip!). They’ve already seen Catch Me if You Can and Billy Elliot. Wicked and The Fantastics, still to come.

Great days, my friend, great days.
Glad to see this one made it. Sad about Panel to Panel though.
Too bad that Kickstarter is available only for US residents since they use Amazon Payments to collect the money.
So I can’t use it, like many other things that are US only.
