Today in 1969, in the second of three Project Plowshare experiments (RULISON), a 40-kiloton nuclear device was detonated in a 8,425-foot shaft near Grand Valley, Colorado, to stimulate the flow of natural gas. The gas was—surprise!—too radioactive to sell. 35214

B. Erin Cole @berincole.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Glad to see someone write up something comprehensive about this. A lot of historians I know had very defensive reactions when Cleves first made her claims. Me included! although as a historian and cartoonist, the problem seemed to be how different disciplines deal with citations, not plagiarism 2191

Reposted by B. Erin ColeAlyssa S. @drsepinwall.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I hope comic artists don’t think that they are creative & historians just “state facts.” There‘s so much work & creativity (not to mention $& used for archive trips) that goes into finding & bringing to life unsung figures. Read a book & want to make a comic? Cool! Pay for rights or collaborate. 1275
Reposted by B. Erin ColeAlyssa S. @drsepinwall.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It’s not that hard. If you want to do a history comic, figure out if you’re taking something that someone *painstakingly pieced together * in the archives. If so, ask to license their book OR credit them at start of book OR don’t use THE SAME TITLE as the historian you based your work on. 🗃️ 29415

B. Erin Cole @berincole.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Also, to stick up for my fellow cartoonists, there is a lot of transformative work involved in taking material from a primary or secondary source and turning it into a page of comics/sequential art that is almost impossible to reflect in a citation 1123
B. Erin Cole @berincole.bsky.social · 01/07/2026as a cartoonist and historian, I've seen many history comics that are VERY casual about citations. Citations are so important: they thank others for their work, tell the reader who you see yourself in relationship to and how you developed your thought, and provide roadmaps for future researchers. 38722
