Adam Bessie is an American writer specializing in essay and reportage comics, often with an autobiographical slant, which he then runs in publications like The Atlantic and The Boston Globe. In one of his most recent strips, No Shame in Staying Alive, he explains how medical marihuana helped him fight the side effects of cancer treatment, but also how he struggled with balancing his drug use with his role as a father.
The wonderful art of this comic (from Fusion) is by cartoonist and educator Marc Parenteau. Check out Adam Bessie’s website for a full list of his comics.
