If you haven’t already, subscribe to Amaris Ketcham and Nora Hickey’s incredible and growing collection of interviews with cartoonists who do autobiographical work. I had my students read interviews this semester and write letters to the cartoonists—it’s such a great resource. And as a person really in the sprinting phase of life right now, it was nice to slow down for a minute to think about what it is I’m doing and why.

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!
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.
