This Week in Graphic Medicine (9/6/2019)

This Week in Graphic Medicine in a Stranger Things Stylized Font

‘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’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 they made this, and download a PDF of the cartoon at the link above.

Interested in more about the intersection of law and comics? Check out the Graphic Justice community: website, Twitter, Facebook.
