One Cartoonist’s Story: A Mini Memoir

In this month’s Drawn to MoMA, the renowned cartoonist looks back on how her journey in comics started with her father, Brumsic Brandon Jr., who “by far left the biggest impression.” The story shows the importance of having people who advocate for us, and how we can pay that forward. For Brandon-Croft, the story of Black women in comics doesn’t begin or end with her. She urges emerging artists of color to keep drawing: “You’ll only improve! I’m sure you’ll figure out how to monetize your craft on the Internet long before I do…and you can give ME advice!”
