Hannah Good tells me that they now have a centralized site for what they're calling "illustrated reporting" - yet another term for a nascent field.*
Congratulations to her for getting this landing page started (although it's definitely incomplete and lacking a lot of the scores of strips done for the former Lily website). On the other hand, there's stories I haven't seen and linked to** and I'm literally their target audience for these, as a reader, subscriber, and advertising subject. Perhaps it's time to bring back the Comic Riffs newsletter? In any event, the existence of the site is good news and I'll be adding a link to it on the blog.
This week's former Lily webcomic is:
More than 'just a look': The long history of staring in the disability community; I wanted to examine this precedent to reflect on the implications of staring in our day-to-day lives
*There's just been a long discussion on an academic comics list about what term to submit to the Library of Congress genre list, but this one wasn't on it.
**and for the record, here's the other stories that I missed pointing out here, including one by my friend Ellen Lindner, and SPX favorites Gemma Correll and Hartley Lin. Both women (Lin is a man) have done other pieces for the WaPo Lily site that should be searchable via this blog.
The Koh-i-Noor diamond has adorned the crowns of previous queen consorts, but it will not be on Queen Camilla's.
