Longtime collaborators in Graphic Medicine, Alex Thomas and Gary Ashwal have had their asthma education comic, Iggy and The Inhalers, printed. Graphic Medicine is eagerly awaiting a copy. In the mean time, the collaborative duo have put the whole thing online here.
The website teaches kids with asthma about asthma symptoms, asthma treatment, and asthma medications using comics, videos, and free downloads.
Considering he is a board-certified pediatric allergist, and has spent a good deal of his adult life treating sick children, Alex Thomas, MD is a ridiculously good draughtsman. I’m jealous of his drawing skills. Gary and Alex work together under the name of Booster Shot Comics to produce original and entertaining work that will great appeal to children (and parents).
Hi,
I am volunteering at the Public Health Department.
I will be helping staff teach groups of kids and adults — for free — about asthma and how best to care for asthma.
I know your site says the pictures are free as long as we are not using them to collect funds.
I just wanted to confirm that we can use them as long as we are not collecting funds or soliciting. It will be a totally free service for the community to help diminish the onset / harm of asthma.
I appreciate your help. Thank-you.
