A year ago, I reflected on the colonial underpinnings of wellness in a series of IG stories. I’m grateful for the friends who encouraged me to put those ideas to paper and that GUTS Magazine gave this work a place in the world.

I have another comic out today!! This has been one of my fave issue themes ever and it was good to inhabit the revenge mindset while creating this cómic told from the perspective of a parasitic worm.

La Gusana Mala is a (body) horror comic by Dora Prieto (Dora Prieto) told from the perspective of a parasitic worm. The comic protests Canadian mining companies in Latin America. Get ~grimy, slithery, vengeful, and weird~ at the link. gutsmagazine.ca/la-gusana-mala…
