Here’s a preview from my latest comic on trafficking in the South Bay, out now in the latest edition of the San Francisco Public Press. I’ll post a link when it’s up online. Read their excellent coverage of bay area human trafficking here. In the meantime, ink and colour is being slung on the second part of the Education Reform Comic for Truthout. Here’s the first part in case you missed it.
This weekend I’m back in Vermont for the Woodstock Digital Media Festival, where I’ll be part of the “Telling [TRUE] Stories” panel tomorrow at 11:45. For a full list of my fellow new mediaphile participants, go here.

I wanted to share my latest comic on human trafficking with you, published this morning on Truthout.org: http://www.truthout.org/human-trafficking/1329157025. The print version will be included in the latest issue of the SF public press, which hits the bay area streets today. Please give it some social media love!
As I mentioned in this previous post, about a month ago I spent a week in the woods outside LA (near Palm Springs), 6000 feet up a mountain, teaching a course on graphic novel writing. The adult students were amazingly dedicated and came on leaps and bounds in their visual storytelling skills, as you can see from the above tiers by Claudia Bear. Click here to visit her new site and read the rest of her comic. More from the other students to come.
In other news: The first mini-review of Yiddishkeit, featuring the 55 page comic I did with Harvey Pekar, is up online here. I’ll post more about it in the Non-fiction page (click on the above tab to access it normally). Here’s the official book page at Abrams if you’re interested in reading about the other collaborators, amongst them the mighty Peter Kuper and Spain Rodriguez.
Comics journalism is in the headlines more than ever these days: check out these two articles, one from The Atlantic (with a list of must-read titles), the other, from Truthout by Adam Bessie, features myself, Ted Rall, Sarah Glidden, Matt Bors and of course Joe Sacco in a round-up of the form’s movers and shakers.
