It is here – our most recent publication, Fool’s Ballad by Eleanor Klock, our 2025/26 Anne Elizabeth Richardson Artist-In-Residence.

Here are a few impressions of the release party – as part of the comic reading CANDIDS at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland.

For more information and to purchase your copy, head over to the website of the Oregon Cartoon Institute.

Read an excerpt below for free.

Couldn’t attend, but would like to relive the experience? Watch the comic reading here.


As a bonus, we are posting our former Anne Elizabeth Richardson fellow’s CANDIDS contribution here as well. Natalie Garcia created the following comic just for this event.
