Part of the Series
Ladydrawers
Welcome to the second strip in our “Growing Season” series, the ongoing comics journalism series for Truthout in which The Ladydrawers investigate connections between food, gender, race and public health in comics form.
Following up on “Roots and Migrations,” the first strip in the new series, our second installment “Stinging Nettles” takes a peek at the food culture and traditions of North America before colonization – and what it takes to keep them alive today. Next time, we’ll look at an innovative food justice operation with international impact with everyone’s favorite Melissa Mendes; then Sarah Becan will return with a strip on who practices food policy. Yum!

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. To ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free, we need to raise $46,000 in the next 7 days. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
Please give what you can — because by supporting us with a tax-deductible donation, you’re not just preserving a source of news, you’re helping to safeguard what’s left of our democracy.
