Kind of like a public radio fund drive but with comics as incentives instead of tumblers and tote bags.
Spike wants your money.
Not so specific, I know — a lot of people want our money. Sometimes we even give it to them, in exchange for goods and services.
To get into gritty details: She would like you to pledge money for a great project (so you don’t have to pay right now, just promise to pay later). And you can pledge as little as a dollar.
You didn’t realize it at first, but you likely already know Spike (How many of you read Templar, AZ?) and this project is a book, a comic, that bridges two topics near and dear to my heart: sequential art in the service of non-fiction narratives, and getting by on a meager salary.
Here, I’ll let Spike explain it herself:
UPDATE: Spike has said on her blog that if when they go over the $6000 goal, that just means more money up-front for the artist, Diana Nock, and a larger print run (plus other possible upgrades, like better paper and cover stock). So Keep Giving!

Dear John:
It’d be even better if good links could be shared without you and other spammers attempting to glom on with your crap. I am naïve to envision an internet where content and cogent comments mattered more than commercial considerations, including your damnable spam, but I take the occasion of your spam-comment to chastise you and make a point.
You suck.
&
you’re banned.
other spammers: take note.
