Sara Soler - Us

Memoir in cartoon style, of a partnership where one person comes out trans & the other comes out bi. Touching, funny in places, overall rather lovely.

Written in Spanish originally - translated to English by Silvia Perea Labayen.

Graphic memoir of a mother and her work to adapt to and accept her child's trans-sexuality. Not sure what to expect, but highly recommended!

This is a #comic I made for a fantastic #SAW class with Fionn McCabe back in February. I set a timer & gave myself 3-5 minutes per panel, inked on Post-it notes. I added color later digitally. It's so liberating to work on sticky notes! So much easier to just draw & not be all precious about it.

"Ruminating on extinction, under the slanted tutelage of my child, felt like a responsible thing to do." In a new visual essay for Longreads, Elena Megalos details a solo trip to the American Museum of Natural History, where she explores parenting, time, and missing her son's "peak dinosaur window." https://longreads.com/2026/03/31/age-of-dinosaurs-parenting-history-museum/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social #graphic #visual #drawing #dinosaurs #parenting #essay #memoir #graphicmemoir #Longreads

Aiming to have this 10-page excerpt finished and made into a minicomic/zine for next Sunday’s tabling event at Pride in Panels at #SFPL.
Currently trying to decide if I want the implied bunkbed frame, or not…
The last two pages still need a few more color passes, too.

#introductions I’m an #artist & #cartoonist working on a long-term book project #GraphicMemoir. My work has #memoir and #surrealism, makes use of comics’ talky-ness & symbolism. Comics are #interdisciplinary. I’ve taught #GraphicMemoir #QueerComics #WomensUndergroundComics #MakingComics as a lecturer at #SFSU. I earn a living as a #GraphicDesigner. Committed to multiplicity & complexity. Love the vast possibilities of play & storytelling with the comics medium.

Impossible People by Julia Wertz (out in May from #Black Dog )

#GraphicMemoir about a successful cartoonist's rollercoaster path from addiction to sobriety. Funny and starkly real.

This is a wonderful #GraphicMemoir from First Second that would actually be a wonderful read for fans of memoir via cookbooks. Available for preorder

This is fascinating; this calls itself a "photo comic" and #GraphicMemoir told in photos, but comics scholars and librarians often argue whether a photographic narrative can be considered a comic. I'm still including this in my recommended list at Brodart, though

This is a fantastic and unexpected #GraphicMemoir about influential filmmaker Buster Keaton. Great addition for #library patrons who like #comics or #biographies

I’ve barely drawn & written since submitting a #graphicNovel pitch in early November, for my #graphicMemoir that I’ve been struggling with for years.

Submitting the pitch felt surprisingly cathartic. It’s the only project that I was interested in publishing and finishing even the crappy pitch felt like freedom.

But it took up so much headspace for so long that I’ve felt creatively adrift since (with maybe a bit of mourning for kissing the hope of publication goodbye).

Alrighty - let’s see how posting #comics goes on #Mastodon.

This is a short #journalcomic about seeing the #SmashingPumpkins for the first time after 30 years of fandom, titled ‘Fat with Promise All Along.’

This is a must-buy for #libraries
A work of #GraphicNonfiction in the tradition of MAUS. Boris Golzio transcribes and illustrates Francine's heroing story of surviving a concentration camp, but uses her words, making this, technically, a #GraphicMemoir
I've added this to my recommended list at Brodart, and it's available for preorder.
