Mini Comic 10 – A Break

Here’s a quick 3 panel comic about taking a break. There are so many things folks are going through. This past weekend I took a break with my family and it was lovely. Sometimes we gotta take a break and step away from all the things so we can recharge and come back better.

Whats this? I’ve had fits and starts with comics since 2007. In 2016 I started working on an epic graphic novel and it was too much, I couldn’t finish. So I took a break and began doing mini comics in 2021 (shorter more manageable stories) so I could do the most important part; finish them. This is a continuation of that. My accountability partner is my cousin and artist; Zhanne Easter.

Mini Comic 9 – Following Orders

Here’s a short comic that had me thinking about how a system of government needs and thrives with loyal, unquestioning workers to follow orders. They need folks to not step out of line, to not think. But if they do, keep it to themselves. It does not work without obedience OR ignorance from its citizens. What is the United States rank education wise? So, I wanted to depict a soldier, defense contract worker, and journalists with the words “Stop Following Orders”. Right now, the US and Israeli governments are playing a vicious game with real lives by bombing Iran. Some questions come to mind when I think of this:

  • Why does the US have over 700 military bases worldwide? Why are they there? Would it be ok if other countries had military bases within USA borders? Why or why not?
  • Why are some countries permitted to have nuclear weapons and others not? Should nobody have them?
  • What are we as workers, individuals, and groups of people willing to go along with in order to have peace, safety? Will we put up with war, genocide, or child sex trafficking as long as it don’t affect our direct family?
  • What could the US government provide for our citizens if so much of our budgets didnt go to the military industrial complex? Policing? etc
  • Do people in the US understand how the US government and ultra wealthy corporations have tampered with, sabotaged, interfered with, destroyed, overthrown, or controlled other nations across the world? Especially the global south?

Mini Comic 8 – Show prep

Here is a new short comic about some of what I do when I’m getting ready to be an exhibitor at an event. I will make the art, recreate it via prints, stickers, or other ways. Then I pack it up and drive or fly to the event before talking to lots and lots of people. Then I head back home and do it again.

Mini Comic 7 – Librarian

This is a short comic about going to the library back in the day. When I was a kid my dad would send me to the library to get books because he thought knowing how to read was important. It totally is and i’m thankful for the lesson. But, when I was starting elementary school we’d moved from Oakland and Richmond to a small city called El Cerrito where the library was NOT inviting or reflective of who I was. I only found that through magazines, music, lowrider shows, graffiti, etc. So I imagined myself becoming a librarian to offer those things to a younger version of myself.

This is why the movement to diversify the publishing industry by empowering writers, illustrators, agents, publishers, etc is so important! And why its being attacked.

Whats this? I’ve had fits and starts with comics since 2007. In 2016 I started working on an epic graphic novel and it was too much, I couldn’t finish. So I took a break and began doing mini comics in 2021 (shorter more manageable stories) so I could do the most important part; finish them. This is a continuation of that.
