Our true story of six people who survived the hurricane rolls into its tenth chapter, “Something in the Water,” where the Doctor gives out shots at a Bourbon Street bar, Hamid and Mansell wade through the chest-high flood waters to bring water to an elderly neighbor, and Denise and her family arrive at the Convention Center. If you’re new to SMITH or A.D., start our latest serialized webcomic from the very first panel, or watch a video on the making of A.D.

Gambit, the weekly newspaper of New Orleans, recently wrote a cover story about the comic, which was part of Alternative Media Expo, where writer and illustrator Josh Neufeld was a guest of honor. “I heard many hurricane stories,” reports Neufeld, who had volunteered in the region with the Red Cross after Katrina. “Which just reminded me once again how A.D. is just scratching the surface, and how many stories there are to be told.”
