The Dill Pickle Club, in conjunction with Mercury reporter Sarah Mirk and 10 local artists, is planning to create a series of “10 short comic books telling little-known stories from our state and city’s history.”  In order to bring this wonderful idea to life they need to raise $2500 and have launched a Kickstarter project to do just that. As of writing these words they are merely $13 shy of reaching that goal.  So maybe you can scrimp on the mocha today, and instead help this project move forward.

If you would like to get a taste of what the comics will look like, the first issue is currently available at Floating World Comics or Reading Frenzy. For further details check out the Kickstarter page, and watch this wonderful video outlining the project:
