Oh, these are fantastic. I love the variety of drawing styles.

I was so taken with the Graphic Medicine project when I first learned about it (I thought it was through MetaFilter, but I'm not finding it at the moment).

The more we tell our stories, the richer the world becomes, the deeper the connections between us all, and the greater the possibilities for building better worlds.

This is a wonderful project. Thank you so much for posting this, latkes!

I was thinking about how recent the start of the pandemic really is — the chaos and uncertainty and surreal carnage — and how distant even the recent past feels.

I hope more people will take time to appreciate great art like this, and to keep making it. I hope people will keep telling true stories, and piercing through the temptation of complacency. I hope we will all keep listening.

Thanks for posting this, latkes.

Toxic Excellence is by one of my colleagues and about my workplace, I know everyone featured in it...and it rings terribly true. Thanks for signal-boosting this excellent work!
