Ladydrawers
“Growing Season,” The Ladydrawers‘ comics exploration of the links between public health, race and food policy continues with “The Sixth Mass Extinction,” in which we meet Claire Pentecost, an artist who works with food and soil and has watched as the drive to wipe out bacteria has taken a toll on public health. It’s our first strip with Canada-based comics creator and journalist Laura Ķeniņš.

Join us in defending the truth before it’s too late
The future of journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. To ensure Truthout remains fearless, tough, and 100 percent independent, we still need to raise $11,000. 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.
