Supporting and Understanding Comics

Georgia Webber and Tom Hart exploring how to support comics creators by understanding what they do

Tom Hart and Georgia Webber want to help comics creators by helping the people around them understand what they do. This first of four episodes is very informal, Tom and Georgia gathering their thoughts. Think of it as listening in as two professionals meet to try to improve their industry.

In this wide-ranging talk, we talk about the Canadian grant system (they have grants there!) and jury assessment tools

We get into teaching visual literacy in comics editing and fair compensation for artists and then a little bit about audiences and impact and a digression into Graphic Medicine.

Free-ranging. Come join in!

Here are some images from Georgia’s comic BARCODE, made in conjunction with a Duke University project for medicine students. We discuss that later in the show.

Other topics, according to the Zoom Bots:

  • Canada's Artist Grant Evaluation Criteria

  • Improving Comics Grant Assessment

  • Comics Creation Process Understanding

  • Challenges in Comics Editing

  • Understanding Health Through Cultural Lenses

  • Comic Creation and Medical Collaboration

  • Graphic Medicine and Comics Review

  • Fair Artist Compensation in Grants

Thanks for being here!
