‘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’s pick was actually posted last Friday, just a few hours shy of when posted last week’s blog, but it is too important and powerful to not count as this week’s pick: LINES DRAWN: Parents and Teachers Who’ve Had Enough. The first part of what looks to be a series of comics illustrated by parents and teachers in Seattle to show how they feel responsible for the care and safety of children in an age of (continued) school shootings. The cartoonists in this installment include none other than Graphic Medicine superstars (and a couple of planners for 2017) Mita Mahato, Meredith Li-Vollmer, David Lasky, and Amy Camber.
Each of these comics speak for themselves when it comes to their devastating subject matter, but I do want to pause and address the “elephant in the room” if you will. That is, the inevitable “concern” of politicizing healthcare, particularly around gun violence. [This is where I remind you that in this picks, it is MY opinion alone, not that of the entire Graphic Medicine team.]
…
I had written out a long, winding couple of paragraphs to address this, but decided to switch tacks. I’ll just say this: healthcare is political. From the way it is (or isn’t) paid for, to the regulation (or not) of the environment, to the highly emotional debates around assisted suicide, mandatory vaccination, and, yes, gun violence as a matter of public health*. It is precisely this emotional nature that makes comics the perfect medium to express questions, concerns, and arguments about these topics. While these above are just the beginning of a conversation, I invite you to read this solid overview from the perspective of public health, Gun Violence and Public Health: The Need for Federal Research Funding, and the links it contains.
I encourage you all to take a moment to pause. To breathe. To reflect. If that means reading your favorite comic or putting pen (or crayon) to paper, do it. If it means taking a walk outside, do it. This is a heavy, draining, overwhelming topic. For those of you NOT residing in the US, I do apologize for the heavy country-specific focus of this week’s pick. I believe you will still find these comics powerful – and perhaps the information interesting – and I encourage you to take steps to care for yourself after engaging with them as well.
* Social determinants of health is an entire area of study unto itself and includes much more than just these few things. Take a look – you’ll often see things included in this post because of SDOH.

To be honest, I think there’s a lot to be said about the untapped potential of comics.
Stories are fantastic, but the number of ways comics can improve lives are immeasurable. Journalism, educational works, self-help guides, all in comic form, accessible to a new audience.
— Atla Hrafney (@AtlaTheWriter) March 24, 2018
Comics can help with both of these. I’ve read so many biographies, journalistic pieces, self-help works in comic format because it takes me 60 minutes to read, and not 600.
