We published over 1,000 comics this year, from political cartoons and humor, to memoir and journalism. Here some of the most popular, most recommended, most notable comics we ran in 2014.
Our most widely circulated piece was “Trigger Warning: Breakfast” a raw recounting of the author’s rape that resonated with a lot of readers.
As protests started to ramp up in Ferguson, Missouri, Tom Tomorrow dropped “Officer Friendly” on the world — just a nice guy with guns!
When Robin Williams died, there was a huge outpouring of grief. For Erika Moen, it caused her to reflect on her own depression in “I Want To Live.”
Zach Weinersmith’s “A Brief History of Weapons” showed us the various ways we have killed each other—and how we will continue to in the future!
Maybe let’s stop killing black kids? It’s a simple question and Matt Bors put forward some easy solutions to the problem.
Our most controversial piece, at least within the comics community, was “The Sponsor” by James Sturm, dealing with professional insecurity.
Susie Cagle’s “The Case Against Sharing” on new services that flout regulation and “disrupt” establish industries earned her an Online News Association award for online commentary.
