We are SO grateful for the outpouring of support we’ve seen in the last few days. Thanks to our followers here and on Twitter and Facebook, we’ve gotten some extra love and attention from some great blogs, not to mention some support from a number of our favorite comic pros. Donations have been coming in, and I imagine that other comic-related non-profits like Hero Initiative are also riding this wave. This is really great, and we want to say thanks!
Can you help us keep it up? For one thing, I’d like to get this here tumblr up to 100 followers. If you help me out with some reblogs of this post or this one, I’ll see if I can find some cool, Jack-related image in the archives that hasn’t already been passed around the internet a million times already.
Once again, here’s the link to our fundraising page. If our Brick & Mortar Fund reaches the nice, fat, round number I’ve got in my head right now, I’d really like to make an announcement/progress report on Monday.
By the way, those of you who have visited our table at various cons may recognize this as the design that adorns the exterior of our “Mother Box” donation box! It’s called “Dream Machine” and Jack painted it circa 1979. Maybe some of our more enterprising followers could find a way to animate this…

From Wikipedia: Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses is an oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style by John William Waterhouse that was created in 1891.
The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, the sorceress Circe offering Odysseus a cup containing a potion with which she seeks to bring him under her spell as she has his crew.
