Comix Talk

Danielle Corsetto creates the damn funny Girls With Slingshots comic and she recently posted her plan to go to 5 a week updates for GWS.

She's taking June off (b/c of vacation and other obligations) to get ahead – in the meantime, she says if GWS readers:

raise enough to pay my bills for the rest of the year, I'll spend July-December 2007 writing & drawing GWS 5 times a week (with color Sundays if I can swing it!) and working on tee shirts, stuffed McPedros & other merchandise, a cleaner website with a better archive system, an RSS feed, a small forum, and FINALLY, a collected print version of the strips.

The official donation drive will begin next Monday. GWS will return July 1st.
