The Search

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Ampersand

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Ampersand

This cartoon is by me and Nadine Scholtes. In a way, it’s also by Samantha Fulnecky, because a lot of the dialog was swiped verbatim from a paper she wrote. But I don’t think she’d appreciate a co-writing credit. “Radical … Continue reading →
