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

So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… There’s been a lot of ongoing discussion about how to make comics accessible, specifically for those with visual impairments, both within the graphic medicine community and the larger comics scholars world.

Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… My pick of the week is this much-needed scholarly comic – Writing medical comics – by the always great Miriam Waite. As I noted on Twitter, there has been a lot of conversation about the need for guidance on just how to develop medical comics, but thus far those conversations have led to little. Hopefully this is a change in that… Read More
