Here’s a compilation of the best of the Web today, including how Etsy combines art with music, a new nonprofit puts grads to work, and Comic-Con wrap-up.

Etsy’s Music Scene

Etsy, a creative marketplace for all things vintage and handmade, has been quietly cornering a piece of the musical scene. Lady Gaga just tapped three Etsy artists to design posters for her album Born This Way, with all the profits going to VH1 Save the Music. During the past four years, Etsy has been gaining popularity as the go-to design marketplace for artsy musicians. (via @Mashable)

Venture for Change

Taking a page from Teach for America, a new nonprofit is recruiting recent college grads to work for business startups in disadvantaged cities such as Detroit, New Orleans and Providence, R.I. Venture for America seeks to improve the local economy through education, health care, and renewable energy resources. The organization’s goal is to have a “mico-impact…and to be big as possible and do as much good as possible.” The program will offer all enrollees $32,000 and $38,000 a year for two years.

Comic-Con

Comic-Con wrapped up its four-day fandom extravaganza. Since its first landing in 1970, Comic-Con has become a hotbed for comic book geeks, gamers and superhero fans. With more than 100,000 in attendance, there was no shortage of costumes, wizardy and plenty of stars from popular TV shows and blockbuster movies. Watch video interviews from the Comic-Con carpet.

722 Whataburgers

An elderly couple is eating their way to all 722 Whataburger joints in the U.S. So far, they’ve made it through 225. Karl and Carol Hoepfner’s obsession with the chain started in 1963, and ever since then they eat breakfast and lunch at the burger place. The Hoepfner’s favorites include the Whataburger with grilled onions and jalapeños and the Justaburger with grilled onions. In 2010, Karl won $8,600 in free Whataburgers after he won an essay contest. Instead, he gave $7,000 of it back, and asked for $1,000 gift cards for $7 that they could give to homeless people and local firemen. (via @todayskitchen)
