‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights news about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado…
Matthew’s Pick of the Week…
This week, I’ve come across two comics that strike me as near-required reading.
[Both are potentially triggering.]
First, this webcomic by Julia Wertz – Things You Might Not Know About Miscarriage.
Second, this webcomic by Kailin Walker & Kerry Wineberg – What is Kindness?.

Some great stuff this week! Did I miss something? Let me know in the comments below or tweet @NoetheMatt! Until next time…
Hi Matt, I would have loved for you to see my book “Life Support Invitation to Prayer” It’s available from Amazon , Book Depository and Penn State Press/ Graphic Medicine who published it and I would love for it to be reviewed.
I presented it in Brighton but alas, the box of books didn’t get shipped in time to arrive to the conference so I don’t know if you ever saw it.
Should I send you one? if so send me your address. Or, can you get one from Cate Fricke at Penn State Press?
Let me know !
