Laughing Ogre is a cornerstone of our community, and its employees could use our help during a frightening time for comics retail and the wider world.

This fund would help the people who work at the store cover expenses as the state is requiring this business and many others to close their doors for at least the next two weeks. I've been in touch with Gib and others at the store about this, which would go to the store's employees who are otherwise not being paid.

Laughing Ogre is the kind of place where you can take your mother, your daughter, your fanboy cousin, and your friend who only reads indies, and all of them feel at home.

A big part of that place is the people, so let's help them.
