we also commissioned @apricotjoy.bsky.social to make illustrations of a bunch of native plants in our community garden, I helped put together these labels with the word for each plant in the two most commonly spoken Indigenous languages in this area, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim and hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓

Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States. “I’ll finish this thing or die trying.”
