Abstract
Considering recent calls for change towards a more liveable tourism academia, we combined
critical participatory action research with duoethnography to develop The Academic Line—a
humorous comic project about academic life. We used traditional theories of humour to leverage
the effectiveness of comics as communicative devices and explored how and to what extent our
project promoted solidarity, reflexivity, well-being, and change. This study reveals our concrete
commitment to fostering change within and potentially improving academia, and to experiment
with a form of communication, which is still underexplored in the scholarly sphere but fruitfully
applied in other contexts to raise awareness of and prompt discussion about crucially important
issues.
