Comic Scholarship

Want a scholarship to comic school? All you need to do is create a two page comic starring yourself, a snowman, a robot, and a piece of fruit. And of course it has to be better than everyone else's.

Including mine.

Yeah, that's a threat.

The Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont has started a scholarship competition. CCS is a new school that offers a 2-year program for aspiring indy-minded cartoonists. Its got a pretty awesome cast of creators involved. James Kochalka and James Sturm are on staff. Brunetti, Seth, Ware and and a score of others visited during the school's first year (05-06). And STL's own, Kevin Huizenga made "How to Start Thinking About Learning to Draw Comics, A Guidebook to The Center of Cartoon Studies", a sweet 20 page comic pamphlet with the longest title ever. We've got one at the store if you want to check it out.
