Out of all the qualified submission packets we received the judging panel has chosen Hana Chatani and her comics project <em>Love Condemns Her<\/em> as our 2023 award recipient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Love Condemns Her<\/em> is a short comic story that builds upon the fairy tale of The Little Mermaid to explore themes of immaturity, sexuality\/asexuality, and the empathy or lack thereof that teenagers find themselves with as they expand their perspective into a larger world. This coming-of-age story told through the queer lens is a perfect example of why Hana Chatani\u2019s work continues to garner attention across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cResources for comic artists are rare and dear, especially in my country of residence. However, entities like the ShortBox Comics Fair and Cartoonist Cooperative springing up in recent years highlight the expanding community, interest in comic making, and the growing need for resources and mutual aid that comes along with it\u201d states creator Hana Chatani. \u201cI am ecstatic to receive the MMC arts grant which is a tremendous aid towards furthering my comic making practice, and with such a gift I hope to give back to the community to help others with their cartooning journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/hanachatani\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
