Bloomington Permaculture Guild member Kevin Polk just launched a new
web comic strip:
Permyz <http://www.permyz.com> Composting 7,000 years of empire.
Permyz is a light-hearted daily comic about a bunch of suburbanites
trying to convert their unintentional community into an ecovillage.
Rather than just kvetching about a very broken status quo, the strip
showcases positive alternatives: permaculture, transition towns, deep
ecology and a host of others that don't get much press. The name was
inspired by permaculture, a system of regenerative design whose students
sometimes refer to each other as "Permies <http://www.permies.com/>."
This strip contains no pesticides, sprays or animal products. It was
inked by hand in the USA and minimally processed in GIMP
<http://www.gimp.org/> on an old laptop running Ubuntu
<http://www.ubuntu.com/>.
Kev Polk, who writes and draws the comic, earned his permaculture design
certificate in 2006, published his first book <http://gaiome.com> in
2007, and participated in Transition Training in 2009. Prior to that,
he worked in software, astronomy, space exploration and archiving. He
lives with his wife Kimberly in Bloomington, Indiana.
