I talk about this in the author questions of my comic. Let’s not participate in the erasure of our resistance. It’s de-humanizing which is the point..

My girl Maya, and English Mastiff mix, would be a perfect Canine Therapist. Look at that face, saying “Come with me! I have so much to show you!”

But this book is blowing my entire mind. Acupuncture saved my adrenal gland and probably my life and I’m trying to understand more.

This man will not get off my book. There is an atmospheric river, no internet and a lot of head pain. Don’t get between me and my book!

Like I have been determined to understand the Cosmic Background Radiation for over 10 years now. It doesn’t matter that I can’t do math or that I I have never taken a Physics class. I will figure this shit out:

I was on a cool panel at Berkeley Comic Con last Saturday about Memoir and the Graphic novel. There are Comics professors, which I think is amazing, but they were all shocked that Hugo and I learned how to do this on our own. It made me realize that I really am an auto-didact.

Let them know Hugo and I are up to it again!

That is really important work. I’d
Love to see the syllabus. I’m building a Freedom School here in West Oakland. Trying to teach teens creative non-fiction, using the graphic medium to tell their stories. But we are also doing community anti-fascist education:

Is it Follow the Drinking Gourd or Follow the Emperor? It’s a Black and/or Asian thing. It is cultural syncretism in my kitchen

When I was a Fellow at Radcliffe I learned that people who invest in shit like Mutual Funds are investing in homelessness. But please do recycle or whatever

2022 by J. Brent Morris. Is there another one that came out last month? I studied Maroonage in grad school. These communities in the Great Dismal were historical rumors before I graduated in 2004. The research of the last 20 years has been *chef’s kiss. A lot of archeology and physical anthropology

Absolutely. So many did. They took their Freedom. I’ve been reading up on the Dismal Swamp Maroons and George Washington, who was more of an asshole than I thought he was. This book is incredible:

Thank you for reading it! Did anything in it surprise you? We are working on a second one:
