After predictably contradictory voting results were relayed from Honduras after yesterday’s elections, once again it falls to the Honduras Coup 2009 blog to provide cogent analysis of the entire farce.
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.”
The follow-up to the Honduran Coup: a graphic history that I’m serializing above is now up at the Huffington Post. Click here to read it. Please digg/facebook/retweet the link once you have!
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.
At last, here’s the promised follow-up I’ve been working on, in a slightly different format from usual. From now on I’ll post comix in a tier by tier format (1-3 panels at a time) as opposed to whole pages. This piece is also the first time I’ve used first hand reporting from a journalist in Tegucigalpa, so thanks to Joe Shansky of Pulsemedia.org, who is the narrator in the panel above, and whose article, ‘Smashing the Silence: Community Defiance in Honduras’ I turned into comics for the first part of this piece.
In case you missed it, here’s the link to a recent radio interview I did on the Honduran coup comic that aired on KALW news recently. In other news, my Diego Garcia comic is going up online at Commondreams.org soon, and will be appearing in the forthcoming anthology ‘Salon Des Refusés’. More details when I have them.
