I have taught comics for the past 7 years and I love every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the link! I have done this workshop about ten time, and I think this one was the best ever. Very great bunch of young teachers.
ReplyDeletewell being a Idiot I had to look up those words (onomatopoeia hyperbole). That is pretty awesome, I never got any real exposure to or even considered making comics until later years. I remember I was 19 when I bought my first batch. Nice to see students getting exposure early on in the classroom, it has really been a unappreciated medium for far too long.
