The current fundraiser will go on for a month.
The "silver lining" here is that for each level of support (yes: the levels are Jan, Zed, Sam, and Damon), you get special goodies such as old sketches of the characters, posters, and a deck of DBD playing cards. (These are downloadables, except at the Damon level, which is supposedly sold out. I think the goodies at that level are sent out on archival paper.)
Personally, I think Muir should find a printer for the playing cards, and offer 'em on an ongoing basis. T-shirts, too.
I'll be sending him some money as soon as my next invoices get paid (which might be too late for me to get playing cards), but the good I get out of syndicating his site for free compels me to kick some dough in, as soon as I, like, have it.
And, yes: I'll be doing my own fundraiser, which will probably also last a week, in the second half of September.
UPDATE: Hey, Chris! Why posters of Sam, and not Zed? I want a Zed poster . . . or maybe a Damon one.

And the L.A. Weekly has the story. Yeah: you heard that right: the L.A. Weekly. I was not prepared to have the world come to an end today.
Juliette has never forgotten her roots. She is one of the brightest people I know, and one of the loveliest. Plus, she giggles in the nicest way when (despite having dated/lived with/married a "former" Marine) I mess up on military nomenclature.
And as far as money goes, it means wearing my hair long, shapeless, and in a ponytail for yet another year, I'll find a way to help Juliette reach her goal and help this Kenyan school out (no matter whom it is named after).
Stay posted. I'll get more info from Baldi, and we'll figure out how to kick this thing into high gear. Meantime, if you want to hit my PayPal jar for Juliette's charity, please send me a note so I'll know it goes to Kenyan education, rather than, um . . . gin.
I know Baldilocks: this project is not about shaming Barack Obama, but about taking care of something important that fell off his radar when he started running for President of this country. Taking care of Kenyans.
Are you an American worried about public schools here? Fine: hold a bake sale. But please send a portion of the money you make to Kenyan education, whether you are white, Indian, black, Asian, Native American, or merely (like me) ethnically confused.
Details later, boys and girls. Minimum donation is $20 for Juliette's charity. Send it directly to her, or to me (annotated, please! tagline: Kenya. I'll know.). If you want to send a check, mail it to her or to me (our addresses are findable, if you're clever--or just write me and I'll give you my mail-drop).
