Learning by drawing: understanding the potential of comics-based courses in medical education through a qualitative study
In recent years, medical educators have increasingly incorporated comics into their teaching to promote humanism and empathy and to encourage reflective practice. However, it remains unclear how and to what extent comics-based courses effectively address persistent challenges in medical education, such as the need for more engaging, multimodal learning strategies and the cultivation of emotional intelligence alongside clinical competencies. The aim of this study is to investigate the experiences of students who have enrolled in courses on comics and medicine during medical school. Students in North America who had taken such a course during the previous 5 years were invited to participate in an interview about their experiences. 17 students from 10 different medical schools in North America were interviewed. To explore the students’ views on the value of such courses to their medical education, we used a constructivist grounded analytic approach, employing thematic analysis to understand and interpret our interview. Students reported that comics-based courses support key aspects of their medical training that traditional pedagogical approaches may overlook, such as fostering self-reflection, enhancing empathy, and encouraging creative engagement with complex medical narratives. Moreover, comics contributed to their individual and collective professional identity formation by providing a space for introspection and shared discourse.

Drawing National Boundaries in Barr’s Ba-Bru Comic Strip Advertising
Barr’s Irn-Bru (previously Iron Brew), Scotland’s best-known soft drink, was promoted by recurrent comic strip advertisements in Scottish newspapers from 1939 to 1970. ‘The Adventures of Ba-Bru’ featured an eponymous Indian character who was joined by a kilt-wearing companion known as Sandy. This article explores how what the firm presents as the longest-running promotional comic strip in history has helped shape the construction of Scottishness in the drink’s advertising. The exotic nature of the central Ba-Bru figure provides a counterpoint to manifestations of local particularism but also grounds the drink’s discourse on Scottishness in a wider imperial and unionist context. The comic strips also generate examples of intermedial transfer that underline the impact of quotidian consumption habits in a national identity shaped by popular culture.

DISAPPOINTED BELIEVERS?
Frimme hersh’s question marks stand out in ‘A Contract with God’ (1978; Fig. 1). Written in a unique font, these markings intertwine English punctuation with Hebrew lettering, and articulate faith, anger, expectation and disappointment. These question marks are both text and image, end sentences but also look for answers from a God found wanting: ‘Then is not GOD ALSO, so obligated??’ (Eisner 2006: 5). In this essay I will consider how American graphic novelists explore their complex relationships with God and Judaism through their semi-autobiographical comics. Focusing on Will Eisner’s ‘A Contract with God’¹ I will also examine Miss Lasko-Gross’s
