With two days to go before the elections in Honduras, now is as good time as any to clue yourself up on the situation on the ground via the following blogs: www.quotha.net, Honduras Coup 2009 (with a must-read introduction outlining why it would have been impossible for Zelaya to be extending his term, as his detractors keep repeating), and Honduras Resists! – you’ll recognize their banner image from the panel in today’s extract. As ever, if you want a hard copy of the Honduran comic to happen, please pre-order here or the chipin widget to the right and be part of a grassroots effort to raise awareness about US foreign policy – all for $5.
Also, check out ExpressBuzz.com (a South Indian online magazine)’s article on my Diego Garcia and Honduras comic here. According to reporter Amish Mulmi, “what Archer has done is to recreate history in a new medium, an alternate history that delves into the wrongs that superpowers may have committed and the consequences of those errors in today’s world.”
Commondreams.org have posted my graphic history of the US base on Diego Garcia on their homepage, which you can check out here. Meanwhile here’s the next instalment of the Honduran coup comic – click previous to skip back to the start.
For those of you interested in a hard copy of the Honduran coup comic, I’ve installed a widget in the sidebar to the right through Chipin, which is a way of getting online donations through paypal. Click here to visit my Chipin page. Basically, I need you to pay for your copy ($5) of the comic upfront, in order to cover print and distro costs – as a bonus, you’ll get your name printed in tha back of an educational tool (32pages, full colour) that will be sent to libraries, NGOs, activist networks to raise awareness of the true nature of US involvement in Central America. Please spread the word so I can make a hard copy happen.
As returning readers to the site will see, I’ve added some new widgets to let you share my comics far and wide to spread the word about topics like the US base on Diego Garcia and the Honduran coup. At the bottom of every post is a veritable plethora of links to facebook, twitter, email, you name it – so feel free to pass on the link. It also looks like I’ve found a home for the Diego Garcia comic outside the confines of this site. More details to come when it’s all official. For now, here’s p2 of 4.
Thanks to the Jan Oberg, Director of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research and Celia Whitaker of the Chagos Support Foundation for their support.
