I’ve blogged before about instructional and awareness comics that my friend Tom Furtwangler has produced over the years, often in collaboration with soon-to-be well-known alternative cartoonists, such as Jason Lutes or Dean Haspiel.
This time, we present a two-page comic that Furtwangler did together with Scott Faulkner about how comics can be used in awareness and grassroots campaigns. It reminds me of the pamphlets and posters the Finnish World Comics group publishes for projects in the third world, most notably in India and Africa.
I quite often worry about spending so much time on something as trivial as comics, and so it is really heart-warming to see my favourite medium also being used for good causes.
