WHY WE MASK: IT'S NOT 'JUST A COLD' 2025 ED

My COVID-19 comic is BACK, babeee, because all these respiratory viruses sure didn't go anywhere! I took all your generous feedback from WHY WE MASK 2024 to make the free printable zine the best version of itself. Mainly, I edited all the dang text to be as simple and clear as possible! Which is harder than it sounds, but worth it to reach more readers. Also I did a million tiny visual fixes that no one will notice but me :P

Thank you to everyone who's read and shared the zine, and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone masking out there! It's never too late to start taking care of each other.

website version - featuring: clickable endnotes! working URLs!

free downloadable version - print & distribute your own copies! (donations to our print fund welcome but not required)

our patreon - help me & my partner @earnestattempts keep making comics like this one!

send us questions, comments, etc at [email protected] (we love seeing pics of the zine out in the wild)!

Extra pages under the cut, including sources for all the endnotes

it’s 2026 i think it’s high time we left mind-body dualism behind us as a species. let’s go into 2027 with the full understanding that we are our bodies and that our consciousness cannot be separated from them thank you

hello mr j! i think you and kofu are very cute

[straycatj]

Can you say one of your younger friends or family who is rude, rascal and violent is cute because of their appearence even if they were adult!?

[straycatj]

Please imagine;

You are around 60 years old, and your son in law around 25 years chases you at full speed then bites and beats you every day, can you say he is cute!?

Right now, as we speak, across the great nation of Canada, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of balding middle aged men who are wearing this shirt. Maybe you know one. Maybe it’s you.
