When asked to comment on her nomination for a Reuben award, Lynda Barry said:

Showing people how to make comics and tell their stories by drawing and writing things by hand on paper in a way that is nondigital, non-searchable, non-‘scrapeable’ or monetizable now feels like something of a revolutionary act. Being a cartoonist and being recognized as a cartoonist means more to me now than it ever has.

More from her tumblr:

Writing by hand on paper is becoming a revolutionary act.  Reading a physical book is becoming a revolutionary act.  Protecting the books in our libraries, the arts and humanities in our colleges and universities is becoming a revolutionary act. Doing things with warm hand to warm hand, face to face, without photographing them, posting them, is becoming a revolutionary act.

Those two original digital devices you have at the end of your forearms are the means of resistance.  As is eye-contact with the world instead of staring at your phone….

The most valuable thing you have is your attention.  It’s also the most valuable condition for survival of the non-digital world.

I agree with her. We need our heads, our hearts, and our hands.
