We didn't learn about this stuff in school, and we're betting you didn't either.
Whether buying a used car or dealing with debt collection, things can get confusing quickly. In collaboration with consumer attorneys, subject-area experts, and a local illustrator, OCJ is bringing real-world consumer tips to life in a fun-to-read comic format that doesn’t assume you already know the system. These thoughtfully designed guides are available in both English and Spanish and accessible online and in print. And yes, they double as coloring books.
Buying a car can be the most expensive purchase many of us will ever make. Our very first comic book tackles the car-buying process from start to finish. It's filled with practical tips and QR codes that link to in-depth articles and resources like a handy checklist to print and take with you to the car dealership.
Debt is a common part of life in this country. While some debt can feel manageable, it can also become an overwhelming burden that can compromise our financial stability and well-being. This comic will help you respond to a debt collection notice, negotiate a payment plan, and much more.
Debt is a big topic and one issue of our comics could only take on so much. This time, we explore your rights and options whether you're being sued for a debt in court, have had a judgment entered against you, or are dealing with a writ of garnishment. This comic will help you make informed decisions and point you in the right direction for additional support.
These comics are available to read online, but they also come in handy printed versions—perfect for gatherings and events, classrooms, waiting rooms, or even the little libraries in your neighborhood.
