Your Black Friend: and Other Strangers

Ben Passmore's short comic zine is a critical contribution to dialogue of racial politics in the U.S. Now collected with a broader collection of his comics, Passmore's work aims to demonstrate "how to be dangerous, how to be a failure, and how to laugh in the face of a world that wants to crush us. Most of all this collection is about how to be a funny dangerous failure. And we all fail, homies, it's okay. We just have to learn how to fail upward." He shows stories of microaggressions, gentrification, police brutality, activism, anarchism, driving a pedicab, punk culture, and more.
