We share it below: JS: How has the academy contributed to an awareness of the need for representation and diversity in graphics and comics? How do you assess your own contribution at CUNY?

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I made this ‘card’ reusing a British Library Public Domain digitised image from 1868.

L ike every year I drafted an end-of-year newsletter round-up for The Comics Grid this year. 2022 was our 12th year and therefore our 12th volume.

For personal preservation purposes I have copied and pasted below the text from the newsletter.
