"I only wish that I gave myself a chance to actually do what I wanted to do even sooner."
I spoke this week with comic book artist Robin Ha, whose new book, Cook Korean!: A Comic Book with Recipes, came out early last month. Robin is a Korean immigrant who is formally trained in illustration, but who has continually pushed herself to #dothething throughout her life -- from moving to the U.S. and learning English, to learning to cook, to writing a whole damn book. Robin and I talk about the limitations we often put on ourselves when it comes to creative work, how cooking is similar to painting, and how most Asian mother-daughter relationships are very, very similar.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Police vs. Cannabis: an Infographic"
From Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist:
"Police vs. Cannabis: an Infographic"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2038
Ignore the anti-legalization shrieking and propaganda, and consider this little factoid: Police have murdered 765 people in the US this year – so far. Meanwhile, absolutely 0 – count 'em, ZERO – people worldwide have died as a direct result of smoking cannabis through all of recorded history.
That's right, smoking cannabis will not kill you – unless you do it in front of a moving bus. See you in DC on September 24!

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Return Of The Choom"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock:
"Return Of The Choom"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2034
Inspired by a scene from Return Of The Jedi in which Han Solo is frozen in carbonite in Jabba's lair, this poster announces a new round of cannabis legalization protest in Washington, DC and the White House on September 24, and calls on the DEA to "release the #Choom" -- to deschedule cannabis and free all prisoners being held for marijuana "crimes".
Needless to say, there's a lot of discontent boiling in the cannabis activist community about the DEA dragging its feet and stringing everybody along for months before finally blowing us off and refusing to remove cannabis from its "Schedule 1" list, alongside heroin. Much of the criticism is also directed at President Sparkle Pony, who claimed he would let science dictate policy and not politics, but has consistently chosen to support the failed Drug War policies which have their roots in the Nixon Administration. (The joke going around the DCMJ office is that the DEA has Obama "frozen, like Han Solo"; the term "choom" refers to Obama's weed-smoking posse from school, nicknamed the "Choom Gang".)
