Ben Passmore’s ‘Your Black Friend’ is now an animated short

Ben Passmore‘s critically acclaimed Your Black Friend  won an Ignatz award, a Dinky Award and a Broken Frontier Award andwas nominated for an Eisner Award.  It continues to be a powerful starting point for the conversations we need to have about race in America.

And now it’s been turned into a 3-minute animation courtesy of Silver Sprocket and Doggo Studios, with narration by Passmore himself.

The video precedes the release of Your Black Friend and Other Strangers, a 120 page hardcover collection of Passmore‘s comics previously published by VICE, The Nib, and a variety of independent outlets, to be released in March of 2018 by Silver Sprocket.
