Abstract

ll Is Not Well presents 20 new graphic stories and Q&As about caregiving, homelessness, and disability – drawn from the comic creators’ own experiences, or inspired by real people working in care. For a brief moment between 2020-2022, the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, caregivers were afforded public recognition: among the many rainbows and ‘NHS worker’ stickers were green Carer badges. Homelessness, too, was also visibly addressed, by making it illegal not to stay at home. Of course, without political will, the green badges are scarcely remembered now, and the housing problems are worse than ever. Yet mainstream media seems utterly oblivious to the issues that still remain. Curated by Jonathan Clode and Ryan Prout of Cardiff University, this anthology, bulging with comic-making talent, sheds a much-needed spotlight on those who need care, and also the committed, usually overworked, and always underpaid caregivers in our communities.
