Cartooning Class
Last Weekend at Emerald City 2010 (or, the Cartooning Class Reunion)
This year’s Emerald City Con was… an extraordinary experience.
Naked Pleading
Normally I wouldn’t use this space to ask for a favor, but this is important.
Saturday from the Archives
So this week I did something not just stupid, but spectacularly stupid.
Friday With The Focus Group
I haven’t done this in a while, but I do occasionally pass on review copies of the things I get to my 6th-grade cartooning students and ask them what they think of them, and I’ve got a few of those right here.
Another Friday in the Schoolteacher Archives
Here’s a story from my earliest days of teaching the Cartooning Class.
The Weekend Before School Starts
We are at that point where I am scrambling to get my act together for this year’s after-school Cartooning classes that I teach in the middle schools. Budgets, proposals, lesson plans, and so on. It’s my least-favorite time of year.
Last Tuesday’s Story Hour with the Ingas
I often talk about the comics classes I teach for 7th and 8th graders, but those aren’t the only classes I teach. In fact, the Cartooning program didn’t actually originate in middle school at all. Officially, it started on the beach.
Happy Father’s Day… after a fashion.

Last Weekend at ECCC ’09
Okay, that was harder this year than it has been in a while.
Friday in the Moving Van (with bonus nudity!)
You find the damnedest things when you’re packing for a move.
Sunday Sneak Preview
Yes, I’m very late. To be honest, I’m amazed I found any time to put up anything at all; we’re not only trying to get packed for a move on the 31st, but I also am having to find time to run and bind eight hundred of my students’ convention ashcan comics in time for [...]
A Friday afternoon with Linda Medley
Not too long ago I had a week at school that was… I’m not sure what to call it. A limited success? A successful failure? I’m not sure. But it all worked out in the end, I guess. I’ll tell you about it and you can judge for yourselves. Here’s what happened.
There will be more Fridays in the ‘hood
I didn’t want to leave everyone hanging after last week. Here’s how it shook out with the gang situation and the Cartooning class at Aki.
