Matthew’s Pick of the Week…
My pick this week is short: go read through the entire #WomenonPanels feed on Twitter and then make every effort to expand your inclusion of voices in comics work. You’ll find quite a few familiar folks from graphic medicine and I suspect everyone will learn about someone new and their amazing work. What are you waiting for? Go! Do!
