We have since produced several issues of a sex-ed comic called \u003ci\u003eNot Your Mother's Meatloaf. \u003c\/i\u003e The work is chosen from a vastly varied group of submissions and attempts to challenge hetero and gender normative practices in sex education. The comics address topics like body image, safer sex, consent, and relationships, from positions that have historically been left out of sex education. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese graphically illustrated personal narratives address different themes, such as \"Firsts,\" \"Bodies,\" \"Health,\" \"Age,\" and \"Endings.\" The book will bring together the best of the material from the \u003ci\u003eNot Your Mother's Meatloaf\u003c\/i\u003e comics, along with new graphic stories and writing by the editors providing personal and sociological background.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaiya Miller\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from Eugene Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts.
