This Week in Graphic Medicine (3/23/18)

This Week in Graphic Medicine in a Stranger Things Stylized Font

‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…


Matthew’s Pick of the Week…

This week, Comics and Medicine: The Ways We Work, 2018 Conference Updates!

  • The hosts of this year’s conference – The Center for Cartoon Studies and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth – have launched the big marketing push for the conference, coming this August. Some links include… CCS Press Release ; VT’s Seven Days ; Valley News ; Dartmouth News
  • Registration for the conference is OPEN! If you act fast, you can get early bird pricing until April 15th. You can find more information about travel and hotels on the official conference site.
  • Keep an eye on your email if you submitted a proposal to present! Notices have been trickling out all week and as the conference schedule becomes more finalized with folks acceptances, everyone should know one-way-or-the-other their status shortly!

I hope to see everyone in Vermont this year! If you have any questions about the event, don’t hesitate to comment here or reach out directly to the conference organizers!

“They did not like the length of the comic or the fact that the drawings were extremely detailed, with too much text.”

This is important. So many comics created to educate misunderstand why they appeal. #GraphicMedicine pic.twitter.com/mekRhZjcrX

This is one of my favorite articles in the #GraphicMedicine “cannon”. The author felt that traditional text-based qualitative reporting couldn’t adequately capture the experience – thus the turn to comics. It includes an exploration of methodology as well. pic.twitter.com/5UcqbFk1XG

“From an information perspective ,the biggest challenge in the use of public health comics is in locating them.” Yup! Anything not published as a “graphic novel” or with a traditional publisher is virtually invisible. #GraphicMedicine https://t.co/l6tGHm1JvC

When you live with pain, folks say a lot of well-meaning, but frustratingly naive things. None bother me more than the suggestion that the pain have no impact on who I am. #GraphicMedicine pic.twitter.com/1N3SRH5Xv4

“Graphic narrative cannot give a true account of disease, pain, or treatment because its mode of expression cannot cope with such complexity. In a comic cartoon colds are represented by sneezing, measles by spots on the face, bruises by a black eye.”

Uh… #GraphicMedicine

— Matthew Noe (@NoetheMatt) March 20, 2018

This is a misguided claim regardless, but this is a clear case where being specific about the language of what you mean by comics is important.

One area of comics that has grown in output and profile over the last decade has been that of graphic memoir. Whether it’s based in medicine, journalism, travel or autobio it’s a strand of graphic narrative that has broadened audiences and found whole new readerships for comics.

My mistrusting side pushes everyone away. It constantly tells me people don’t care about me. It helped me survive when I was growing up, because the people around me then couldn’t be trusted. But now it’s damaging my relationships. Do you experience this? pic.twitter.com/7BVh30pKp0

— Kathryn (@017kat) March 22, 2018

Again, @017kat does a wonderful job of capturing a powerful & challenging emotional & relational experience. This just cements even further my belief in #comics / sequential art / #graphicmedicine as a powerful tool for #teaching & #learning. https://t.co/jKa1XpvmOM

Many educational comics seem to have been well intentioned, but not necessarily effective. However, some like Preventative Maintenance or the CDC’s Zombie comic are entertaining and engaging. Now, excuse me while I put together a disaster box…food…batteries…medicine… pic.twitter.com/gtKYg9g1Np

Reminder to the @GraphicMedicine community to *please* include the words “graphic” and “medicine” somewhere in your posts. Without them, the chances of it appearing in the weekly blog posts are drastically reduced. Help me spread the word about your amazing work!
