Now it can be told: when editing Fantagraphics' One Saturday Morning comics anthology in 2022, I tried to include some rare Pepper Ann one-page gags created for the foreign market—but *this* epic Australian-only one slipped past me.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
