Spotlight: Stephanie Jo

Oct. 13, 2020 by Matthew Noe Leave a Comment

Find Stephanie’s full Pain Dairies comic here. “Pain Diaries” is a comic describing my experience with endometriosis as well as the fears, frustrations, and suffering that comes with having chronic pain. Endometriosis is a disorder where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus, causing severe pain and a myriad of other serious health issues. From age 12 (when I first got my period) to age 29, I lived without a label for my suffering. Experiencing daily chronic pain without a diagnosis felt like I was existing in a large empty body of water, constantly drowning but never dying. Living with a… Read More

Spotlight: Let’s Talk About It: A Graphic Guide To Mental Health

Oct. 8, 2020 by Matthew Noe Leave a Comment

Cover of Let's Talk About It

Spotlight post by James Sturm, Director and Cofounder of The Center for Cartoon Studies As director of The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS), I had worked on putting together a graphic guide about democracy and governance. The book circulated widely and Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery (StarkMHAR), a team responsible for engaging and educating middle school students, came across it and reached out to see if CCS would be interested in creating a graphic guide to mental health.  These projects seem to happen when the right opportunity meets the right cartoonist at the right time. When this opportunity… Read More

Graphic Medicine Quantified: An Annotated Bibliography

Aug. 4, 2020 by Matthew Noe 1 Comment

Graphic Medicine Quantified: An Annotated Bibliography by A. David Lewis A challenge for Graphic Medicine is its being juxtaposed alongside biomedical and scientific fields of work that operate largely in the realm of statistics and quantifiable analytics. Often, the scholarship in Graphic Medicine comes without numbers. It is anecdotal, experiential, aesthetic/literary, or theoretical, customarily, and only occasionally calculable. This is neither a flaw nor weakness of Graphic Medicine, but it is also adaptable. If practitioners and clinicians utilizing elements of Graphic Medicine so choose, they can opt to perform further studies on its measurable effects. This is not a matter… Read More

Guest Post: Native American artists respond to COVID-19, Naomi Bishop

Apr. 3, 2020 by Matthew Noe 2 Comments

  As a medical librarian, I know that the information about COVID-19 is overwhelming, so the information most important to families and communities is something that should be highlighted and shared often. Communication about the Novel Coronavirus pandemic of 2020 sheds light on how comics help communities in different areas. Native American communities across the US are not immune to the pandemic. As cases are rising in tribal communities, many nations have announced stay at home orders for citizens and are preparing for the worst outcomes. In response, Native artists and creators have put their energy into creating art that… Read More

(Guest) This Week in Graphic Medicine (12/17/19)

Dec. 17, 2019 by Matthew Noe Leave a Comment

This Week in Graphic Medicine in a Stranger Things Stylized Font

‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights news about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Note… As you may have seen on social media, TWIGM is on a hiatus until after the New Year – I (Matthew) am taking a rest from online life throughout the holiday break. In light of this, you may see a few TWIGM posts by guest authors (yay!) and they may take a different approach. This Week is brought to you by guest author Talicia Tarver,… Read More
