Worldchanging ally Andy Lubershane believes that comics are a Worldchanging medium. A childhood fan of educational cartoons like Larry Gonick's "The Cartoon Guide to…" series, Lubershane values comics for their unique ability "to provide information quickly and humorously" to audiences of all ages.
Combining his artistic talents with his passion for sustainability and innovation, Lubershane created an original series of comics called Earthly Ideas, designed to explain popular concepts and inventions clearly and with a hefty dose of imagination. Worldchanging is thrilled to be the first to publish these entertaining and informative pieces of artistic storytelling.
We'll be releasing one of Lubershane's original comics each week from now until the end of the year. While many of the issues covered in the comics have been discussed on Worldchanging in the past, we hope that you'll be able to use this new medium in a different way … whether it's in your classroom, on your office wall, or to help explain ideas to friends and family.
