Lynda BarryNick Sousanis @nsousanis@mastodon.social@KeeganLannon As I assume you know, I share a ton of student work - and following Lynda Barry - I added the out out language to my syllabus rather than having to ask (though I do if it's obviously personal work). https://t.co/uON5jhWezM https://t.co/pwEIccGuyj

Impossible People: A Completely Average Recovery Story
Julia WertzNick Sousanis @nsousanis@mastodon.socialGoodness - every page of @Julia_Wertz’s Impossible People is an unflinchingly honest exploration of the human condition, painful, poignant & laugh out loud funny - and super smart cartooning. I kept trying to read it in short chunks and found it impossible to put down. 1/2 https://t.co/7ALtv7xcZH
