October 2025 | PRESALE: Bimbo Agitprop @ Fantagraphics Books
- On sale date: August 4, 2026
- “In the tradition of Aline Kominsky-Crumb and Phoebe Gloeckner, a remarkable debut graphic novel that wields art like a knife to organize, agitate, and dismantle the predatory systems that immiserate us all.”
- “Bimbo Agitprop captures the reality of growing up in West Texas in the early 21st century, through Satanic Panics, Y2K, a recession, abusive parents, shitty men, identity-centric politics, and woke/anti-woke pendulum swings.”
- “Jac boldly embraces frivolity, “bimboism,” comedy, memory, and storytelling to interrogate reality in the 2020s, ping-ponging among relationships, psychedelic trips, internet 'fame,' good sex, bad sex, romance, and trauma.”
- “Her dense, obsessive pages read like a manifesto, announcing the arrival of a remarkable new voice in comics.”

- The Nassar family from Gaza—parents Ola and Fady and their children Younis, Layan, and Farah—endured the loss of their 13-year-old daughter Tala, who died from starvation and lack of medicine as a direct result of Israel's genocide, occupation, and blockade of the Palestine people and their indigenous land of Palestine.
- The family was forced to flee after their home was completely destroyed by the occupation, losing all their property and their sole source of income.
