If you have access to any the following stats software, would you be willing to run some chi squared tests on a handful of simulated datasets and send me results? I need to verify that that my R implementation of what other software does is correct. - Stata - SAS - StatXact - SPSS DM me :)

This print ad for a major corporation didn't need to go this hard

Psychologist cartooning from days of yore. (From the Saturday Evening Post, 1941)

I'm more of a sympath.

I just discovered that in 1986, dc published a slice of life, nonsuperhero series intended for adults (and with adult themes). Angel Love, by Barbara Slate

Dylan Horrocks could never

I've never read a Harry Potter book. You can just shove all of my Ally trophies and medals out of the way and sit anywhere when you come visit my house.

This should absolutely be a scandal which people lose their jobs over. You'd have to assume that anyone in power actually cares though to think that would happen, which obviously would be a bold assumption in present circumstances.

Our commentary on the potential implications of the recent Executive Order.

“Hm…CalArts adjacent character design”

Did you know that there is an academic conference within the San Diego Comic Convention? It's called the Comic Arts Conference. They just gave permission for presenters to announce that they'll be presenting there. This will be exactly 30 years since the last time I attended SDCC--pretty exciting!

Thanks to @aaronhester.bsky.social for visiting my comics & mental illness class today. His comic Quick! I'm Melting! is highly recommended. It provides a well plotted and satisfying glimpse into developmental and mental health concerns of a post-college adult. Tasty character design too!

What do Dennis the Menace, Blondie, Plastic Man, and Luke Cage have in common? They've all been used to promote public health. I review the first book on the topic of Graphic Public Health, by Meredith Li-Vollmer and include a bit of additional context and history. Check it out here:

Thrilled to host @mardoucomics.bsky.social in my comics and mental illness class today. Past Tense is likely the most complete account of a course of psychotherapy in comics. Masterful weaving of three very complex topics: personal accounts of family therapy and psychotherapy plus IFS.

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!

Some recent sessions

Just updated my "zine resources and free zines" page with a bunch more stuff on zine design & layout, listings of zine fests, events, & distros, getting zines printed, advice for tabling at (and organizing) zine fairs, and many zines that are free to read and print: sheerspite.ca/home/about/z...

How is it possible that there is not a single published collection of New Yorker therapy cartoons? #graphicmedicine
