Our Favorite Kickstarter Projects


We've seen the future of creative media funding, and it is Kickstarter! Though most of our favorite Kickstarter projects are no longer accepting funding, there's still time left to contribute to Ralph Bakshi's  (Fritz the Cat, Lord of the Rings) latest animated project and an exciting MAD Magazine documentary starring Sergio AragonĂ©s, Jack Davis, Mort Drucker, and the usual gang of idiots. Kickstarter is a great way to support independent media - and score limited editions and autographs as an extra bonus!
