Ron Wimberly drops one page comic about Brooklyn pop-op radio station for The New Yorker

It's been a minute since I blessed you with anything from that dude D-Pi (Ron Wimberly if you're nasty), but I had to take a second to drop this one page comic I swiped off The New Yorker's website.  It's a one page documentary about an independent radio station in Brooklyn...

We sent Ronald Wimberly, an artist from Brooklyn who refers to himself as a “graphic mixologist,” to visit Lot Radio and create a Sketchbook based on what he found.

I peeped this because the combination (Ron Wimberly +The New Yorker) was the ultimate clickbait to me, but I'm sharing it now because I found Concrete Oasis: The Lot Radio to be a compact-yet-compelling story about small scale community entrepreneurship. 

An opportunity, the pursuit of a passion, and a need in your community that can be filled-  That's the formula for a small business.  Ron constructed the comic so that each panel shows how the community supports the project.  

Good stuff.  Click here for more goods about Lot Radio.
 I would love to read more of this, so I hope The New Yorker sends Ron out again...

Peace...
