April and May (2026) have proved to be an unusually full time of talking comics all over the globe (though only one of them required me leaving my house…). From India to Japan to the east coast, it’s been fun talking with educators, students, comics enthusiasts, and more. While they’ve mostly been virtual, they haven’t…
New term, another new class – this time on Superheroes! First time for me, despite having read these things since before I could read! And with it – I have a whole new syllabus that is made as a comic! [UPDATE: I decided to document the whole class as we go – that’s on its…
This fall has somehow seen me with a whole bunch of talks to give and more ahead – some that can be attended virtually. If you missed it, last post I shared my first minicomic as syllabus for a new (non-comics) class this fall. Check that out here. In late September, I did a virtual…
New semester – new classes – new syllabi! While I’ve been drawing all my syllabi for years now, this is the first time I’ve made a mini-comic as a syllabus (and only my second mini-comic – the first is here). It’s the Liberal Studies capstone (not a comics class) and I made the focus around…
I made a new comic about the origins of due process, how fundamental it is to our rights and the very notion of freedom in this country, and how we all must fight to ensure due process for everyone. You can download a PDF for printing or sharing here. Appreciate any sharing, posting, printing to…
A comic about how we got to where we are today… Down below, I put all the references I used for each panel and a couple I didn’t end up using. You can download a PDF here for printing/sharing however you want: Sousanis No Lines Small Update: thanks to my Brazilian publisher Rogério de Campos,…
My return to comics-making as an adult was prompted by an invitation to be in a political art show just before the 2004 US Presidential election, and a follow up exhibition right after. Those two pieces, “Security” https://spinweaveandcut.com/security/ and in particular, “Show of Hands,” really launched my approach to making comics that would define my…
Pleased to share word, that I’ll be the opening keynote speaker for the Graphic Medicine Conference this July! The conference will be held July 16-18, 2024 in Athlone, Ireland – and brings together comics makers and health care professionals from around the globe! Alongside my keynote, I’ll be doing two workshops for attendees before the…
Suddenly, I’m participating in a flurry of conversations around comics/my work in a 20 hour stretch February 21st and 22nd! An accessible version of Unflattening, with visual linguist Neil Cohn in the UK, and back at Teachers College – on alternative scholarship… UPDATE: Recording of this is now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9y_bjUNs1Q&feature=youtu.be. Also, the audio descriptions…
Pleased to share word that I’ve just created a comic on accessible comics in collaboration with my colleague Emily Beitiks for MIT Technology Review. It’s in print, and they have an interactive version of it on their site here: https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/06/28/1074341/comics-beyond-sight/. Emily and I created an audio accessible version, and you can see the full comic and access…
