(Don't) Go to Law School Available at LDC Comics Fair this July

For the month of July 2025, you can access a digital copy of the first installment of my graphic memoir, (Don’t) Go to Law School, about prestige-plagued law schools, a devolving Supreme Court, and finding a path that feels right. If you have no connection to the law, you may also appreciate the comic if your childhood reading skewed your career expectations, you did exactly what you said you wouldn’t, or you’ve ever been particularly invested in celebrity gossip.

An illustration of a memoir called "Don't Go to Law School." It shows a small girl saying "Law! Ew!" It also shows a woman wrapped up in bands that say things like "you can do anything with a law degree." The woman looks upset.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is shown on a page of a comic, where we see how she became the "Notorious RBG" and said things like "Fight of the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you."

A girl and her father are sitting on a couch in this comic about law school. She points out that she always knew she would never go to law school.

The comic is available as part of the LDC Online Comics Fair, which has a collection of digital comics by creators from all around the world.

The listing for my comic is here, but there are loads of other great creators whose work you may enjoy, if you go to the LD Comics Shop generally.

If you pick up a copy, let me know what you think!

Birthright Citizenship in the U.S.

What’s going on with birthright citizenship in the U.S.? In May 2025, there was oral argument at the Supreme Court on this topic. What was it really about? This explainer comic illustrates this specific point in the litigation.

Text says, "What's happening with birthright citizenship?" Illustration shows a baby holding a U.S. flag, in a bassinet. Sign on bassinet says "Welcome baby!"

Text says, "birthright citizenship has long been a no-brainer aside from some fringe theories. Just read the start of the Fourteenth Amendment." Illustration shows a drawing of a yellow scroll with text of 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Text says, "The fringe theories made it to the White House this year, and turned into an Executive Order." Illustration shows a White House with arms and legs holding the birthright citizenship executive order from January 2025.

Text says, "This was quickly put on hold (aka 'nationwide preliminary injunctions') by federal district courts in Seattle, Maryland, and Massachusetts. Illustration shows stick figure judges holding up papers that say "Not ok. Pause!"

Text says, "But the Government didn't stop there, asking the Supreme Court to decide that nationwide injunctions (holds) are wrong and should not apply to anyone other than the plaintiffs in the cases put on hold."

Illustrations how's White House holding a sign saying "We're not asking about the Constitution itself.." and text explains it's a procedural appeal.

Text explains that the case has yet to be decided, but unclear how Court will rule.

The day they took away a fundamental right

On Friday, June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court took away a fundamental right from Americans when it overruled Roe v. Wade. Those who were watching closely had seen it coming for years, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a complete blow, to our senses of dignity and the legitimacy of the court, when it did finally happen.

The text in the middle of the page says, “this morning, I woke up with a FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT under my nation’s Constitution. Tonight, I go to sleep without it.” Illustration shows a woman waking up in the morning and then laying in bed, sad.

Text says, “What does it feel like to have had more rights than your daughter, fewer rights than your mother,”

Illustration shows a woman with a bob holding a blue blob, a collaged piece of paper. Next to her is a younger woman reaching for the blue blob, with torn up blue bits next to her.

Text says, “fewer rights than YOURSELF,”

Illustration shows a woman with tears coming down her face, tears created with collaged blue paper. She has her legs and arms crossed. Next to her are younger versions of herself, holding intact blue blobs (collaged paper). Text above each of them says, “a day ago, 6 months ago, 15 years ago,”

Text at the top says, “and a legal system that smashes a half century of legal precedent.” Illustration shows collaged bits of paper, mostly blue, some orange. They are pointy and all over the page, like an explosion. Under them is a Supreme Court bench, with 6 justices behind it, saying in a single voice, “Look what we can do!”

This page simply says, “This.” There are no illustrations.

In the middle of the page, it says “This is what it feels like.”

Below, towards the bottom, are a few of the collaged bits of paper from the prior drawing, in a tiny pile on the ground.
