In my paper, I trace how the CCP celebrated and/or educated about its anniversaries via comics. As these ranged in format and style from classical lhh booklets through comic strips to fancy coffee book tables, the bottom line is evident: comics were (and are) part of polit communication efforts.

Very interesting! Do you happen to have them? We’d be very interested to get our hands on a few here at ChinaComx (chinacomx.github.io)!

Laura Pozzi, who curated the CUHK exhibition, and I (based on my work on the largest collection of Chinese caricatures at Maoist Legacy) have an article exploring the last leg of these caricatures -- targeting Jiang Qing during the anti-Gang of Four campaign of 1976-1978, doi.org/10.1215/1067...

Is there perhaps a list somewhere of all the substacks that moved to ghost? For an easy find / overview that’d be great
