Mark Siegel is using Kickstarter to raise money to promote his extraordinary webcomic Sailor Twain (or, The Mermaid in the Hudson), which has been featured here before: "Though Sailor Twain will come out as a printed book in 2012, the work is serializing as a webcomic–free and ad-free.The accompanying blog is filled with historical bits, process snapshots, and the dialog with readers has been extraordinary. A number of them even send their photos and appear as cameos in the story."
