Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… This week’s pick comes thanks to Michael Green and isn’t strictly speaking health related, but it does show an amazing example of using comics effectively in another rather conservative (little c) field: law. Created in response to a lawsuit about eBook pricing, a lawyer partnered up with a cartoonist to file a cartoon amicus brief! You can read about the case, why… Read More

Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Personal Note… This edition of TWIGM is strange in that it covers the period of May 4th to May 15th. There was a death in the family that has upended routine here, so I apologize for the strangeness. Keep in mind that this means the next edition will also be strange as it plays catch-up to include the rest of this week (5/16 and 5/17). Matthew’s… Read More
