COVID-19 Comics
Last updated 06/02/20 The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. There is much information available online. (Not all of that information has been reliable, so be sure to verify information!) There are also dozens of comics about COVID-19 coming across our feeds. The comics are educational, social justice oriented, humorous/coping, or a combination of any and all of the above. Here are some of them for you. We have tried to include only comics with reliable information. We have also included a few historical plague-themed comics and non-comic resources for reliable information about COVID-19.

Comics in Graduate Education: Preliminary Findings
by Abbey L. Berg, PhD, CCC-A, FNAP: Pace University, Communication Sciences & Disorders Program and Keyra-Nicole Lecointe, BS: Pace University, Graduate Program in Communication Sciences & Disorders Abstract: 22 speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate students read the graphic novel, El Deafo (Bell, 2014). Groups of 3-4 students produced a 4-frame comic of communication impairment. Five categories emerged from student responses to activity: 1) increased perspective-taking; 2) awareness of knowledge/beliefs; 3) academic/clinical training/practicum experiences tool; 4) advocacy/public health; and 5) intra- and inter-professional collaborations. In summary, incorporating graphic novels and comics in graduate education and training is valuable. Background: Narratives fill a gap… Read More
Top 10 Don’ts and Do’s of Working with Patient Partners in Research
Hot off the press! – the Top 10 Don’ts and Do’s for Researchers Working with Patient Partners was inspired by a conversation amongst patient partners at REFLECT 2017 – a workshop held by the Hatching Ideas Hub that brought together researchers, patients/service-users/caregivers, and policy makers in the field of suicide prevention to share ways of working (better) together on research projects. Collaboratively designed by patient partners and researchers, and brought alive by the creative talents of the illustrator (Emily Adams) and graphic design specialist (Andy Gauthier), the Top 10 comic depicts some of the common scenarios encountered by patient partners in research and communicates some important… Read More
Cannabis and Mile High Dual Review
Mile High: Adventures in Colorado Medical Marijuana by Mister V, isbn: 978-0989384346, © 2019, 8th Wonder Press (8thwonderpress.com), 322 pages.

Book Reviews by Kevin Wolf This is a difficult review to write. Book reviewers are often called critics. A memoir carries the additional critic’s problem that it could lead to personal hurt; after all criticizing the presentation could be taken very personally. From my perspective, nothing written here should be taken personally, it’s meant for outside… Read More

Spotlight: KC Councilor
Graphic Medicine post: Between You and Me: Transitional Comics It never occurred to me that I could make comics about the doctor—about going or not going, about those paper robes and things I’d rather forget—until I read MK Czerwiec’s work. This opened a whole world to me as a lifelong hypochondriac who has typically avoided going to the doctor and as a transgender person just beginning to medically transition. Just so many possible comics to draw. It also never occurred to me that I would be a cartoonist or that I would have a book (of comics!) until I started… Read More
