Replying to @LAPhilip
@LAPhilip joined me at @FortKnoxStudios for band practice and we chatted about music, family, work and making comics-and how it all reflects back on my relationship to Chicago! Thanks for a fun conversation! @WBEZ #graphicmedicine #thisischicago wbez.org/this-is-chicago/202…

Why Chicago is like a middle child

“We strive to impress, but also we keep it real,” said Alex Thomas. The doctor, musician and cartoonist says Chicago allows you to do and be many things all at once.

I had a great time with @NoetheMatt talking to @ReachOutReadGNY about @GraphicMedicine! We had the group give me suggestions to draw a character that embodied the mechanism of action of an antihistamine! #graphicmedicine #reachoutandread #earlyliteracy #healthliteracy
