Okay, please do this for me, people. My longtime friend Carol Lay has a Kickstarter up to fund her newest comic book creation, Murderville. I've known Carol for years and everything she has written or drawn (and especially both) has been worth your attention and patronage. This will be a great comic if it happens but I'm worried it ain't gonna happen. It's looking like she's about to fall just a little too short.
Go to the Kickstarter page. If you've never backed something over there, this would be a great time to sign up and get your tootsies wet. If you have backed Kickstarter projects before, you know the great sense of satisfaction 'n' pride you get from helping out a great talent and helping them to avoid the compromises and shadows of corporate funding.
Pledge whatever you can. The $25 level is a tremendous bargain. You get a copy of the comic book on paper, a copy as a PDF plus an original signed sketch by Carol. The sketch alone is worth twice that. The $100 level gets you a page of original art from the book — also worth twice that amount. At least.
I don't ask you for much. I haven't even hinted lately that if you enjoy this site, you could show your appreciation by sending bucks my way. Instead, I'm asking you to send them Carol's way because that's where I'd rather see your money go. Let's make this happen. You will write me someday and thank me for putting you on to it.
