Whether we like it or not, entertainment has become the continuing education for most of America’s adult population. I’m sure I’m not the only one who learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre from the Watchmen TV series, or the crimes against the Osage Tribal Nation from Killers of the Flower Moon. There’s a whole slew of narratives considered too obscure or subversive for public or private education to cover, which leaves it up to artists to make sure those stories aren’t forgotten.
I've overheard the reactions comic store customers have when they pick up Corinne Halbert's work for the first time. My favorite was one twenty-something guy who called his friend over smiling, saying "this shit is blasphemous." That's the typical response to picking up her first graphic novel Acid Nun , which begins with a demon consensually eating a woman's intestines and eyeball, then receiving oral sex from the titular Acid Nun moments later.
Back in March, while trying to meet a friend for drinks, I ended up walking in the NYC Dyke March. It wasn’t what I’d set out to do originally, but hey – she wanted to participate and it was easier for me to meet her on the route. Admittedly, it was tenser than I’d expected as the march had shifted focus to being about both queer pride and reproductive rights. Who could blame them?
