The Four Color Media Monitor

The CBC reported about the East Coast Comic Expo at Moncton, interviewed artists like Nick Bradshaw and Danica Brine, and tells about an item the latter produced:

Brine will be showcasing her recent work as an illustrator for the graphic novel Chef's Kiss written by Jarrett Melendez.

The graphic novel is a LGBTQ story for young adults, and was recently nominated for an Eisner award, which will be handed out at San Diego Comic Con in July. It was also nominated for a GLAAD award and won a 2023 Alex award from the American Library Association.

"Ultimately, we weren't really doing it for the awards," said Brine. "But to be recognized and be on the list with huge creators, and especially Canadian creators like Margaret Atwood and Chip Zdarsky, it's huge, it's awesome."

No, it's not. It's cheap and presents a poor example for the young adults it's said to pander to, much like the novels geared to the same demographic of YA. Brine had a big chance to research and illustrate a comic about subjects like Cameroon and Danish culture. Instead, she goes for the most painfully obvious subject, which is LGBT ideology. And the CBC promotes this without question.

I'm sorry, but Ms. Brine's done little more than demonstrate how she goes for some of the cheapest assignments in terms of ideology, lending her skills to something that's only been alienating much of the USA public, and far less people support it now. So what she's worked on is merely a topic that's becoming outdated very fast, and has only done more harm than good to comicdom along the way.
