Hey everyone, I have a couple of opportunities for folks who will be going to SPX: 1. I need a couple of more moderators. 2. I have a panel called Humanizing Medicine. If your work intersects with graphic medicine and you want to be on this panel, reply or DM me directly. Thanks!

Feeling excited about my new mini-comic, Everlasting, for SPX 👀 I’ve also been adding this tiny new icon to my other works. 🖌️ 💙 Just in case there’s any question! All about making art by hand over here!!

Close up of a watercolored face with green eyes looking into the distance. A heart shaped icon with a hand and a paint brush that reads “100% Handmade.”

The idea that we shouldn’t speak ill of the dead seems ridiculous to me. What more important time is there to set the public memory of the good or bad a person has put into the world than when they die. It’s the gift we give to those we loved, and the bill due for those who made others miserable.

This was required reading in my 6th grade language arts class at a magnet school in FL in 2000/2001. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Many of my classmates went on to read LotR, but I found them too dense/dull by comparison at that age. Chronicles of Prydain was more my jam.

The big literary discourse on twitter right now is whether The Hobbit—a children’s book that won children’s lit awards and was literally written for the author’s children—is appropriate reading for children or in fact such a difficult book most adults can’t “get their head around” it.

The amount of independent work and research that Walden undertook - as detailed in the online notes - is considerable. I realize this may not satisfy Prof. Cleves or those who want it labeled as an "adaptation," but I see review bombers on Amazon are calling it a rip off and that is dead wrong.

The controversy over the Charity & Sylvia GNs has raised many issues about historical research and how non fiction GNs should handle citations, but the idea that it is a "rip off" is grossly unfair to Tillie Walden. I picked up a galley at ALA and this is 250 pages of densely reimagined storytelling

There's a couple things I want y'all to do when you see allegations on the internet provided from one perspective: 1) Were good faith opportunities taken advantage of before going public? 2) What is there to gain from going public?

The book is also not essentially a graphic adaptation of Cleves' "C&S," as some are claiming. Tillie read her own primary sources, did her own research, and the book is sewn together with many invented scenes and dialogue to aid in narrative creation and emotional resonance.

RHC's research and book has been acknowledged extensively in every profile, by both journalists and Tillie herself, including where RHC is quoted praising Tillie's efforts making a popular book with integrity. She is in no way left out. Disappointed by the witch hunt. www.charityandsylvia.com/about

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

It's time once again for an evergreen tweet: young cartoonists, especially fresh-out-of-school folks, if you get an odd cold-email from a literary agent who says they want to represent you, *please* quietly check in with your peers/former teachers/etc to make sure it's someone legit. It may not be.

Ben Passmore@benpassmore.bsky.social · 3mo ago

until there’s a cartoonists union, you need an agent. failing that, run your contract past your peers. if they don’t know what they’re looking at, DM me or another older cartoonist who does.
