I just talked with the Calgary Eyeopener about a little project I worked on earlier this year: "City Hall 101." I talked with Calgary Metro, too (here's a link to the article they wrote about this). So I guess I'd better post the comic here. Some of those creative folks at Calgary City Hall had the idea of using comics to draw people's attention to ways ordinary citizens can engage with what's going on. I love the fact that our script used the idea of people showing up to speak in support of a proposed change, rather than against it. People might not realize that that's an option! Anyway, here's the comic. The story isn't really that thrilling, but what IS thrilling to me is the growing interest in comics as a legit form of art and communication. Thanks City of Calgary for the opportunity!
You can also see the comic - a bit bigger, and along with all the relevant City Hall info - on the City of Calgary's website, here.

And If you're really interested in hearing my 8 minutes on the CBC Eyeopener talking about this, here's the audio track. (If you're interested in hearing what I sound like at 6 AM after 4 hours of sleep and one big mug of coffee... you've come to the right place!)
