Grass is our story.

We eat it: rice, corn, wheat, oats, barley, sugar, bamboo shoots...

We spread it: agriculture, colonialism, suburbanization, habitat restoration...

We touch it: relaxation, celebration, exploration, demonstration...

Grass is everything.

How To Touch Grass

A comics anthology about "touching grass", because it's a lot harder than it looks.

EXCITING CCIC NEWS AHOY

We are thrilled to announce that @jamiesmart.bsky.social, wildly talented creator and all-round good egg, has agreed to be Patron of the Comics Cultural Impact Collective CIC!

Jamie Smart drawing at his desk, smiling in a patronly way

Quote from Jamie Smart: “I’m incredibly excited to be a patron for CCIC, having long admired the amazing work they do for comics and comic artists. Comics are the best thing in the world, we all know this already, we just need to get other people knowing it too, so I hope I can help CCIC in their ongoing mission to raise comic awareness. And also, crucially, I’d really like to learn more about how we can support comics and all the brilliant creators making them. It’s an absolute honour to be involved.”
