Goodbye Bush!

Sunday, February 14th, 2010 by Mikhaela Reid

So I FINALLY got rid of the Bush-themed banner at the top of this site–it only took me over a year to get around to it! Not only did it feature an ex-president, it also showed me with the flaming red hair that, truth be told, actually came out of a bottle, and I stopped dying my hair in 2007.

I realize I don’t look particularly angry in the above image, but that’s only because I clipped it from an illustration I did of a vintage dress pattern I’m sewing. But trust me, I’m still SEETHING with RAGE, even in my fabulous orange floral silk maternity dress.

Here’s the retired banner:

Here’s the image I pulled the new banner from:

Not cartooning: Basquiat Onesie

Friday, February 12th, 2010 by Mikhaela Reid


Click to enlarge

I made this from a repurposed T-shirt by Brooklyn Industries featuring an image of the late great artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. It used to be one of Masheka’s favorites until it shrunk drastically in the wash!

Yes, readers, I’m getting bigger by the day and Cartoonist Baby is kicking like a soccer player. June is the big event!

Cartoon: More on Women in Haiti…

Friday, January 29th, 2010 by Mikhaela Reid


Click to enlarge

More on the risks for pregnant Haitian women from Women’s eNews.

And MADRE has more on the unique needs of women and children in Haiti in the aftermath here. An excerpt:

All Haitians are suffering right now. But, women are often hardest hit when disaster strikes because they were at a deficit even before the catastrophe. In Haiti, and in every country, women are the poorest of the poor and often have no safety net, leaving them most exposed to violence, homelessness and hunger in the wake of disasters. Women are also overwhelmingly responsible for other vulnerable people, including infants, children, the elderly, and people who are ill or disabled.

Because of their role as care-takers and because of the discrimination they face, women have a disproportionate need for assistance. Yet, they are often overlooked in large-scale aid operations. In the chaos that follows disasters, aid too often reaches those who yell the loudest or push their way to the front of the line. When aid is distributed through the “head of household” approach, women-headed families may not be recognized, and women within male-headed families may be marginalized when aid is controlled by male relatives.

It is not enough to ensure that women receive aid. Women in communities must also be integral to designing and carrying out relief efforts…

Update: The New York Times has more on this issue.

Cartoon for Women’s eNews: Relief for Haitian Women

Thursday, January 21st, 2010 by Mikhaela Reid

Haiti already had the highest maternal, infant and under-five mortality in the Western Hemisphere and the earthquake (and the collapse of hospitals, including an obstetrics hospital) certainly hasn’t helped. In addition to more broad-based relief groups, please also consider giving to women’s relief groups such as Madre that are dealing with women and girls’ unique needs in the aftermath.

Here’s the cartoon at Women’s eNews, and below is a permalink (the eNews link expires in a week or so):

Mikhaela Reid
Metro Times (Detroit)
Jan 21, 2010

I will add that I received a really disturbing bit of pro-rape (seriously!?) email from a Mr. John Napolitano in response to this cartoon this morning. An excerpt (warning–this is really horrible, so please don’t read if it will upset you… it certainly upset me):

But do you understand that the rapist could be another (male) earthquake victim. pushed over the edge from being denied the aid they need?

But most women’s advocacy is full of this sort of narrow short sightedness, which does nothing but make another part of the people feel less than equal. I sometimes wonder if this isn’t the real aim.

The end result is the furthering of the “Women’s Agenda at the expense of Humanity…..

No comment. That really soured my morning.
