A new project has claimed the title of most funded (check out The History of #1 on our blog), and this week's projects are as cool as ever: an eclectic comic collection, a fermented food frenzy, and some good of fashioned snail mail. The Antler Boy and Other Stories by Jake Parker Comics Provo, UT A comic genius Jake Parker has spent 13 years working as an artist on everything from toy commercials to Horton Hears a Who!, but he's never stopped drawing his own comics on the side. Over time, his varied collection has grown to include tales of flying whales, space- exploring robots, and a little girl who loves to play checkers — each beautifully illustrated in Jake's signature eclectic style. His new book will collect them all in a single hardcover edition.

CA It's alive! The Brine and Dine Live Culture Collective is not afraid to get a little wild — wild with its cultures, that is, which they use to make their funky and fresh raw sauerkraut. Mixing locally sourced ingredients with old- fashioned methods, like maturing small batches in earthenware crocks, they're out to create a uniquely crispy, tangy version of this classic fermented foodstuff.

I love you In response to the proposed closure of 3,700 US postal offices comes Post Haste, a mixed-media art exhibition that reflects on how the digital age is radically changing our public institutions, with contributions ranging from portraits of stamp collectors to a live transcription service for gallery visitors. Can't attend? There are still handwritten letters and EFTA_R1_00542843 EFTA02032207 original art to look forward to — all delivered the old- fashioned way, naturally!
