A very chill, low-key monthly meetup to share comics about chronic illness.
About the meetup:
Do you make or read comics about chronic illness? Come hang out and share your work! This is a very chill, low-key monthly meetup. In 2026, the Chronic Illness Comics Club is a series of monthly workshops led by different artists on themes related to bodies, health, and disability. At the end of each workshop, participants will be invited to share their work.
If you register for this session, we’ll add you to an email list to be notified about each upcoming Chronic Illness Comic Club meetup in 2025. Everyone who registers will be invited to join our Discord, where we have a Chronic Illness Comics Club discussion channel. This is a series we’re offering for free, it’s totally 100% great to register at the $0 rate! But if you have money to spare and want to support our work, we made it possible to throw us $5-10.
Date:
The next meetup is Sunday, May 3rd at 11am-12pm PST / 2pm-3pm EST.
About the May facilitator:
Arielle Duhaime-Ross is a freelance science journalist, podcast host, comics artist, and TV host. They are also a recent graduate of the Sequential Arts Workshop One Year Comics Certificate program. Their work has appeared on Vox.com, The Verge, Quartz, Scientific American, VICE News, as well as in VICE News’ flagship weekly news podcast VICE News Reports, which they hosted for three years. When they aren’t hosting podcasts or reporting stories, they spend most of their time drawing comics, riding a bicycle, and training their two chihuahuas, Reggie and June.
To make them affordable, all of our classes and workshops are offered at a sliding scale cost.
Supporter - This payment level pitches in a little extra toward the teacher’s income and helps pay artists to create new comics at Crucial. Thanks for your support!
Standard - This is the basic rate for the class, which covers our costs.
Discount - We want people of all income levels in our classes, so choose this rate if you paying the standard rate is a stretch for you.
We set aside three spots in each class to be offered for free to people who would find it a hardship to pay the discount rate for any reason. These free spots are first-come, first-serve. If you would like to take a class for free, please send us a short email about yourself, what class you would like to take, and why. If a free spot is still available, we’ll send you a discount code to register for free! Email: editors@crucialcomix.com
