I’m a BIG fan of MariNaomi, who I first got here throughout not by way of their writing however by way of their activism. They are the founder and administrator of the Cartoonists of Color Database, the Queer Cartoonists Database, and the Disabled Cartoonists Database, all of that are wonderful assets. Then, I found the award-winning writer’s artistic works like Kiss & Tell: A Romantic Resume, Ages 0 to 22, and Things That Go Bump within the Night, amongst others and was simply as blown away. And I doubt this newest work from MariNaomi might be an exception.
