A Cartoonist’s Depiction of the Moment Things Got Weird
As a kid, Chris Ware loved collecting and preserving comics. He graduated from buying Batman and Superman at the nearby 7-Eleven to honing his taste at the local comic shop, where he revelled in the walls of comics, the smell of self-destructing woodpulp, and the polypropylene bags that protected his newfound treasures.

Jerry Survives | Chris Ware
As an artist in the second half of the twentieth century, Jerry Moriarty did everything you weren’t supposed to do: he painted people, he painted places, and, perhaps worst of all, he told stories with pictures. It’s important to note how not-accepted this was between the 1950s and 1970s, in the messy aftermath of abstract expressionism, when many artists had disowned figuration and family in favor of non-objective paint-spattered flats.

Mary Petty, the Mysterious Cover Artist Who Captured the Decline of the Rich
In the pantheon of New Yorker artists, the name Mary Petty hardly registers. But in her time she was one of a group of women—Helen E. Hokinson, Edna Eicke, Ilonka Karasz, and Barbara Shermund among them—who contributed well-known, well-loved drawings and paintings to a magazine that was then largely dominated by men. Petty (1899-1976) was married to one such man, Alan Dunn, who published close to two thousand cartoons in The New Yorker.

The great divide between Chicago and the rest of Illinois
In retrospect, while driving with my 12-year-old daughter from our home near Chicago to an empty cornfield in southern Illinois to see the 2017 total solar eclipse, I should’ve been a little more alarmed by the number of Confederate flags we counted along the way.

Good Old Ink and Paper | Chris Ware, Will Simpson
In our May 29, 2025, issue, Chris Ware takes a close look at Olivier Schrauwen’s graphic novel Sunday and the formal qualities that make comics uniquely suited to transmitting thought. Ware writes: “In what other medium could one simultaneously inhabit the mind of a character and ‘see’ both his memories and imaginings?” I first read Ware’s series Acme Novelty Library as a teenager in the early 2000s.
A habitat‐based approach to reporting the direct impacts of an organization on biodiversity
INTRODUCTION There is a growing need for organizations to quantify and disclose their impacts on biodiversity. Historically, organizations focused on responding to regulatory requirements associated with the impact of particular activities on specific aspects of biodiversity, such as the impacts of a development project on threatened species. This approach is quite limited in scope and has done little to protect biodiversity from ongoing decline (Murphy & van Leeuwen, 2021).
Pure Thought on Paper | Chris Ware
Between 1918 and 1920, The Little Review serialized James Joyce’s Ulysses,a work so extraordinary, so experimental, and so exacting in its efforts to render the flow and form of human experience that in literary circles it gained an incandescent notoriety, not only for its capturing of the texture of perception and memory over the course of a single day but also because the book was so fabulously dirty.

Ecosystem extent is a necessary but not sufficient indicator of the state of global forest biodiversity
1 INTRODUCTION The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), adopted by the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), lays out four long-term goals relating to the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity—“by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people.” The GBF also lays out 23 targets specifying the actions required over...

Acme Novelty Datebook: Volume Three
The third and final installment of the artist’s facsimile sketchbook series. After over fifteen years deferral, delay and dawdling, the ink-and-paper cheerleader F. C. Ware finally succumbs to imaginary public pressure by concluding his tiresome experiment in reader trust with the third and final volume of secret notebooks and sketches spanning over thirty-seven years of bus rides, airport delays and telephone hold music.
The value of targeted biological surveys: An assessment of Australia's Bush Blitz programme
1 INTRODUCTION Continued collection of biological data through national field-survey programmes is essential to improving knowledge of biodiversity and underpins our ability to adequately manage natural areas into the future (Brito, 2010; Reddy, 2010). Globally, the biodiversity of most regions is only partially documented, and this is particularly the case for less well-studied taxonomic groups (Oliver et al., 2021).
Linguistic Shreds and Inchoate Images
The award-winning cartoonist meditates on the singular vitality of his art form I am a cartoonist. And, as such, occasionally I will be asked by a normal civilian why, since I also appear to be a sensate, functioning adult, am I not just a regular writer, or a regular artist? Fortunately, this is a question I also ask myself about every two and a half minutes, so I am always prepared with a concise and perfectly sane-sounding answer.

Perspective | A legendary master of Japanese comics is finally available in English
Comment Save Like many other English-speaking graphic novelists, I have spent years trying to prove that the comics medium is a medium like any other. Neither a mere crutch for “reluctant” readers nor a simple vessel for superhero stories, it is, as my peers and I have sought to show, a form in which emotional, multivalent fiction about everyday adult life is at least … well, possible. It turns out we were about 50 years late.
Global Change Biology | Environmental Change Journal | Wiley Online Library
Quantifying and reporting the consequences of human actions on biodiversity has been identified as a crucial step in halting the biodiversity crisis (IPBES, 2019). Most attention has justifiably focussed on estimating biodiversity change due to direct drivers, such as habitat loss and degradation (Jaureguiberry et al., 2022).
Chris Ware’s “Harvest”
This Thursday, dining tables and social-media feeds across the country will be brimming with Thanksgiving feasts; Americans will snap pictures of everything from their perfectly arranged spreads to the messy—but strategically lit—leftovers of good times had, captioning their posts with personal reflections on gratitude and belonging, or with recaps of dinner-table debates as to whether the squash-and-onion tart or the sweet-potato-and-pecan pie stole the show.
HENSHIN! | Kirkus Reviews
After an explosion took out the electricity and caused panic in Hollowstone nine years ago, a tech billionaire stepped in to save the day. Alton Grieves provided massive infrastructure and investment, becoming a revered hero in the process. But journalism student Alex Nolan doesn’t like how Grieves has his hand in everything people use, from social media and cars to medicine, and he plans to expose him for profiting from the city’s suffering.

Why I Ditched Onsite Laundry in Favor of a Portable Washer and Dryer
Onsite laundry is a menace. I’ve lived in four apartment complexes in Los Angeles over the last six years. Each had its unique disturbances, like neighbors practicing screamo vocals for The Voice and roommates who think they’re Roger Ebert. But after being forced to do laundry in what felt like a dungeon, I began browsing for a portable washer and dryer to keep in my unit. To be clear — I’ve always hated the onsite apartment laundry system.

I Just Started Surfing And This is the Best Surf Gear I’ve Found for Beginners
Learning to surf has given me a peek behind the proverbial curtain into the reality that is the surf scene. Before, when I thought about surfing, as many of you might, it was filled with laidback people, beautiful waves, longboards, and chill vibes. But what you don’t see is the true culture — the rules and the technical knowledge that go into, not just that lifestyle, but the sport itself.
