I loved your write up on “The Blind Illustratrix” (EW, May 24). I might be looking in all the wrong places, but this is the only local comic artist news that I’ve seen in years. I figured this passion was outdated, no longer relevant. And that’s a disheartening thing to believe as an aspiring comic artist.
Representation of informative graphic artists such as M. Sabine Rear, Ellen Forney, Jesse Springer and others is critical to fueling the fires of the comic community. Thank you for keeping my dream alive, EW. I hope this article has inspired others in a similar way.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
