#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one.

The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

If you're somebody who values supporting marginalized voices in comics, here's your chance to put your money where your values are!

The writer of this RINGO NOM’D INDIE COMIC (and a very dear friend of mine) is a Syrian Refugee who has been through more continuous hardships than I have space to list here; constantly navigating visa applications, unstable living conditions, predatory landlords (limited options as a refugee).

Anas just wants to make comics and live a normal life like what so many of us take for granted. Backing this campaign will help Anas to take the next step toward freedom and autonomy, helping to fund a move to another country with more stable employment options. This is truly one of the most important comics purchases you will ever make.

Middle Eastern and North African comics creators are some of the most underrepresented in the comics industry of the western world. Anas isn’t running a GoFundMe to support this move, and is not asking for charity. Simply, Anas is using their talent for storytelling, along with Dennis’ gorgeous art, to offer you a beautiful experience in the comics medium, that also goes toward funding a better life for Anas.

I’m so proud of Anas, and humbled by their experiences and perseverance. I would like to see Anas’ Dream realized, and I’d love to see this community help to make that happen. Please join me in pledging to the Etheres Kickstarter campaign! (link below).

Some confusing inks that will make a lot more sense when I colour them tomorrow.

listen I’ll always support the creators involved in these Kickstarters and even share them, but am I the only one who finds it a little gross when comics publishers owned by millionaires are running crowdfunding campaigns? you have the money: just produce and sell the comics.

Heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says the rich are rabid with greed, and people are struggling. Doctor says, ‘Treatment is simple. The comedian Bill Burr is in town tonight. Go and see him.’ Man bursts into tears. Says, ‘But doctor… I am Bill Burr.’

Grant Morrison once said about comics, “Most of the people who do this kind of work, do it out of love, like the love you’d show to an ailing friend.” And I think about this all the time.

if those comedians really thought they were doing something for freedom of speech at that Riyadh festival (Bill Burr’s feeble defense), let me ask this: why didn’t you do it for free? or donate your fee to a freedom of speech organization? you did it purely for the money, not principles.
