Being a school teacher I therefore, according to many politicians, have more disposable income than many Fortune 500 CEOs. Don’t even ask about how much I bring in as a webcartoonist, Bill Gates asks me for loans. While I don’t have a lot to give I have discovered a cool spot to invest in some really creative projects- Kickstarter. Someday I might set up a My Geek Odyssey project, but right now I’m having fun supporting cool ideas. If you’ve seen Sue and my “Dick Tracy Radio Watches” that was a Kickstarter project. I’ve also supported a couple comic projects. They way it works is- you donate funds and if the project reaches its’ goal you pay. The level you support the project determines your reward.
I’ve supported projects that have given me: watchbands, warm beverage heaters, desktop trebuchets and comic project or two. The most recent projects I’ve supported are dealing with all-ages comics. If you are interested in supporting any of these enjoy!
Comic Book Diner: Fun & Funny Graphic Novel Boxed Set – Ending Mid-June asking for $10,000 (still needs funding)
The New Brighton Archeological Society Book 2 – Ending at the end of May asking for $6,000 (already fully funded)
So more cool comics for my classroom! I have tried (and failed) getting a donorschoose project funded for my classroom, I may have to try again, they have some great projects there also. Oh, Sue likes Kiva which gives micro-loans in third-world countries.
Then again you could also vote for the Dr. Who Cache Series at Where’s the TARDIS? (blatant plug).
