Sometimes the biggest story on A1 never makes an appearance in these drawings. This project is as much concerned with finding a visual throughline as a narrative one. The grape pickers and the Dodgers, they all stack up pretty neatly, but then there's the story about the children in war-torn South Sudan who spend every day just trying not to be murdered or raped or struck down by some illness running through the camps that are their only refuge from the hell they escaped from, and you can see how it can be difficult making the leap from what goes on in California to what goes on in Sudan. And why it's important to know what goes on in Sudan when you live in California.
