Why is it important to support this Crowdfundr?
All funds, past the cost of printing and shipping the comics, will go directly to the artists. Once the Crowdfundr hits the goal of $1,050, each artist will have their page rate raised to $10 per submitted page. Once it hits $1,350 it will raise to $15 per page, $1,675 means $20 a page, and $2,000 means $25 per page. If the Crowdfundr goes past $2,000, the artists will continue to receive raised page rates.
So buy now! Support the artists directly by pre-ordering the anthology through Crowdfundr.
The goal of the Columbus Cartoon Coalition (C3) is to establish consistent programming for cartoonists and comic artists in Columbus, OH.
