The Daily in Comics

C

omics are not a genre, but 
a medium. Although The 
Michigan Daily is a text-
heavy publication, comics 

offer an entirely unique range of 
expression and nuance that text 
alone cannot. What might The 
Daily look like if it were entirely 
comics?

As you’ll see in this issue, comics 
can be about any subject — from 
personal statements to broad 
histories, from the magical to 
the mundane. Although every 
comic we’ve gathered in this 
issue relates to Ann Arbor, that’s 
about where the similarities end. 
That’s what I believe makes them 
so exciting. 

This is the first comics issue of 
the Statement, and hopefully not 
the last. I’m very grateful that 
we were able to involve so many 
different voices in this issue. We 
hope you enjoy them all!
