Like A Chat with with Bob Scott, the cartoonist creator of "Bear with Me"January 13, 2021 at 11:05 PM by Mike Rhode Animator and webcomics artist Bob Scott has nothing to do with the DC-area. In fact, he has only been here as a teenage tourist, as he reveals later on in this interview. However, he's making the rounds to promote his new book, and sent me a very nice email, so why not expand our focus just this once in these odd times? He answered our usual questions, modified somewhat as necessary. First, here's a pocket biography, compiled from Bob's pages at Hermes Press a...Tags: Facebook, Comics, Interview, Washington Post, Molly, Washington, France, La, Germany, India, Webcomics, Egypt, Animation, Washington Dc, DMV, San Diego 55 people like this.

Like Read this moving webcomic about peaches as they related to mental health and racism.September 10, 2020 at 9:15 AM At The Catapult, writer/artist Shing Yin Khor has an incredibly beautiful illustrated essay about her relationship with peaches and depression — connecting both things back to their own Chinese heritage, and to the fruit's relationship with Confederate white supremacy in America. Khor takes a touching personal narrative and deftly weaves it through and around hundreds of years of colonialism and racism in a way that's beautiful, resonant, and thought-provoking.

Like A bleakly touching webcomic compares our apocalyptic fantasies to the real experience of coronavirus quarantineMay 28, 2020 at 7:49 AM Nate Powell is the writer and artist behind About Face, a brilliant webcomic about America's obsession with fascist fashion. His latest comic, Hide Out, is less of a macro-scale political analysis, and more of a quiet, reflective, internal piece about life in apocalyptic scenarios — but it's just as powerful, and just as much worth reading.

In his inaugural column, Munroe answers: "If I Touched the Moon, What Would It Feel Like?"
