Comics have come a long way from the Garfields and Calvin and Hobbes of yore (although we still love those, too). These days, the graphic medium helps folks make informed, constructive decisions about their health, addressing emerging diseases, environmental health threats, and gaps in health equity. Graphic Public Health: A Comics Anthology and Road Map illustrates the growing versatility of the comic medium and shares how practitioners can jump-start a practice of comic-making for public information. This event showcases original artwork from over a dozen Seattle cartoonists featured in the book, and many of them will be present for the opening reception—stop by to cheer them on and learn a thing or two.
Show remains on view through July 6. Masks are highly encouraged while visiting inside the bookstore. Lots of open-air socializing available right out front.
