This is my first time drawing myself as a father in a comic.
Of course, it's part of a science-themed reflection on evolution, extinction, the impermanence of life, and the ability of comics to bridge different timelines (a little homage to Richard McGuire).

I'm proud to be part of this international team trying to tell the story of Fanny Angelina Hesse. Yet another forgotten #WomanInSTEM - please support, if you can 🙏
I love how trippy the new covers of the Chinese editions of Neurocomic and The Senses are. I have no idea what all the text says but it looks like they captured the spirit of the books. Enjoy!

In-depth interview with science comics pioneer Jay Hosler, in The Comics Journal:

"I really believe strongly that science comics are best when there is not just a little narrative, but a strong narrative, like where the science isn't necessarily the sole focus of what I'm doing."
💯 agree!
Picking up after nearly 20 years, Chris Mautner reunites with a favorite interview subject: artist and biologist Jay Hosler, whose all-ages science-based comics now seek to navigate a very different, ostensibly more hospitable, yet ever-unpredictable terrain.
