SPX 2019 Panel - Image, Activism and Autobiography online now
SPX 2019 Panel - Image, Activism and Autobiography
Published on Nov 25, 2019
For many autobiographical cartoonists, the personal truly is political. From direct participation in protests and political unrest, to suffering the effects of gentrification, to horrifying encounters with the police, to exploring self-image, each of the cartoonists on this panel has a unique perspective on recording these narratives. Moderator and scholar Francesca Lyn discusses these issues with Ben Passmore (Your Black Friend And Other Stories), Ebony Flowers (Hot Comb), Bianca Xunise (Say Her Name), Sylvia Nickerson (Creation), and Halfdan Pisket (Deserter).

Gahan Wilson drawing for Bruce Guthrie
Bruce Guthrie writes in, "I first ran into him at the New York Comic-Con back in 1995. He asked what I did and I told him I was a computer programmer for the government. This is what he drew in my sketch book that year... (The words on the computer screen are "We have decided you are redundant".)"
