It’s so striking when people focus on how horrible they felt it was they were encouraged to stay home when they could in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and not how horrible it felt to see hundreds of thousands of people pass away from COVID-19 in the US and millions around the world.

I vividly remember a talk we hosted at Orbital where someone asked (pleaded with) Trina Robbins, “But wasn’t there something clever and subversive about the problematic stuff in Crumb’s work?”
Robbins replied with a simple and unequivocal “No.”
Robbins replied with a simple and unequivocal “No.”
the thing about getting told to read edgy white cartoonists is that they're the only people who think racism is 'edgy'. everyone else recognizes racist as the default state of whiteness, and thus the most boring and predictable thing you can be as a white person

I am respectfully asking people not to platform Joel Meadows / Tripwire magazine. He has made clear his support for Israel's actions, as well as his contempt for people who are appalled by Israel's actions in Gaza and beyond. I am hoping there are others in the comic community who feel the same way.

I don’t know how to say this in a way that isn’t cringe or soppy, but if there is a single name that should be associated with an Eisner win for comics journalism, it’s Heidi MacDonald

Some beautiful sentiments in this thread, and a reminder to look beyond the outer edges of horror
Today, Emmett Till would be 84. I wrote a little about him in my chapter in “Desegregating Comics”. A photo in the Chicago Defender showed the bed he and his cousin were in on the night Till was kidnapped. The sheets are rumpled and the foot of the bed is covered in comic books and newspapers. 1/5

1/2 Hey, all! We're going to start running our series on the impact of AI "art" on the comics community this month and we've had lots of great contributions.
Know what we are lacking though? Thoughts from actual comics *artists* which is obviously a great, glaring hole in the coverage.

Especially as mask bans become more common, get back into the swing of wearing one to protest fascism and show solidarity with disabled people! Mask up!
