Gendered Bodies: A Graphic Medicine Commentary

A new piece I co-authored with the brilliant Ann E. Fink is now out in Social Science and Medicine, a special supplement sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. (Shout out to the Office of Research on Women’s Health and specifically, Dr. Elizabeth Barr!) Ann and I have different disciplinary training, different comic styles, live in different states, but have a shared love of comics and graphic medicine (and each other). We hope this piece reaches all kinds of folks… students, teachers, researchers, practitioners. The whole special issue, Gender, power, and health: Modifiable factors and opportunities for intervention, is open access. Check it out!

New Comics Out!

What a delight to have comics out in the great Mutha Magazine and Heavy Feather Review!

Sympathetic Pregnancy is a look into what it’s like to be the partner of a pregnant person—a dad with a uterus—musing about this psycho-social-biological phenomenon technically termed couvade. Thanks to all the muthas for making space for so many people and stories. I am not a mother, but I might be a mutha!


Hand, Foot, and Mouth is not about the disease that circulates through preschools, but about the experience of being a human and seeing the personhood in the non-human. The comic is part of their column Flavor Town USA, which makes my chef’s heart sing.

I see why you might think this, but no, most of my comics have nothing to do with chickens.

A Very Wild Thing!

I’ve been busy drawing comics and teaching… taking a break from social media to have the time and space to work on a big new project. In the meantime, here is a recent comic, something that’s been on my mind that I hope is a balm for trans folks and those who love us in these tough times.

In Your Most Radical Imagining!

I spent late summer 2020 doing some radical imagining with these visionaries for a comic essay for Communication and Critical/ Cultural Studies. Thanks to editors Lore/tta LeMaster and Amber Johnson for the brilliant forum, “Speculative Fiction, Criticality, and Futurity”! This is the world I want to live in. Thanks to Thea, Kristiana, Ann, Ife, Kamari, Sami, and Justin for your vision and for trusting me with your image.
