Remembering Ernest
Ernest Borgnine (1917-2012) starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, Marty. Everything about that movie is perfect. Perfect screenplay. Perfect acting. Borgnine plays a sad-sack butcher whose family walks all over him and calls it love. They practically conspire … Continue reading

Tom Gammill: a Doozie of a Teacher
Tom Gammill, a known writer and funny man attempted to wow us with his street smarts this past month. While his particular brand of sass might fly when writing for such obviously sophomoric shows like Seinfeld, Saturday Night Live and the Simpsons; the Center for Cartoon Studies was having NONE of it. First, he tried to convince us that the Doozies is a good comic strip and then he attempted to give constructive criticism on current student work. Feel free to witness that horror that his destructive criticism wrought, some students still shake when they hear his name: Continue reading

James Kochalka: Vermont Cartoonist Superstar
When the everyday is fodder for a comic, it is hard not to be fascinated by life’s little moments: coincidences that might go unnoticed, tangents leading us to dusky-eyed memories or brilliant-blue-sky discoveries, commonalities that we do not even realize we share. Vermont born-and-bred cartoonist, James Kochalka, notices all of these things and more which he captures in his daily diary comic, American Elf. Kochalka is know for many other comics work, his involvement in the comics community, love of rockin’ concerts and will soon be acknowledged for this with Vermont’s first Cartoonist Laureate title.
