Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels “If you've ever felt bad about wasting your life reading comics, then check out Scott McCloud's classic book (Undrestanding Comics) immediately. You might still feel you've wasted your life, but you'll know why, and you'll be proud.” Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons. “BRAVO!! Your Undrestanding Comics is a landmark dissection and intellectual consideration of comics as a valid medium. Its employment of comic art as its vehicle is brilliant. Everyone...anyone interested in this literary form must read it. Every school teacher should have one.” - Will Eisner “...one of the most insightful books (Undrestanding Comics) about designing graphic user interfaces ever written, even though it never discusses the subject directly.” - Macintosh co-creator Andy Hertzfeld |

Artist Info
(from artist's site) - Mike Peters is recognized as one of our nation's most prominent cartoon artists for his outstanding work as both a political and comic strip cartoonist. His favorite expression WHAT A HOOT certainly sums up his outlook on his life and work which are inexorably entwined. Mike's warm, easygoing and zany demeanor is evidence that his personality matches his creative talents. As so eloquently phrased by a colleague -- "Mike is the Peter Pan of the cartooning world; he's boyishly charming, good with a rapier and doesn't spend a lot of time on the ground. And he doesn't seem to want to grow up".

Rocky And His Friends premiered on ABC on November 19, 1959. The series
featured a segment called Rocky And Bullwinkle, about Rocky the squirrel and
Bullwinkle the Moose going up against Mr. Big/Fearless Leader, who sent agents
Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale to deal with the Moose and Squirrel. It also
featured segments called Fractured Fairy Tales, Aesop And Son, Peabody's
Improbable History, and Mr. Know It All in each episode. After 2 years on
ABC, the show moved to NBC as "The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle" (aka

(from WikipediA) The Jetsons was a prime-time American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, and aired on Sunday nights on ABC from September 23, 1962 to March 3, 1963. Like The Flintstones, it was a half-hour family sitcom projecting contemporary American culture and lifestyle into other time periods. While the Flintstones lived in a world with machines powered by birds and dinosaurs, the Jetsons lived in a utopian future of elaborate robotic contraptions, aliens, holograms, and whimsical inventions. Also, the Flintstones represented the contemporary American blue collar lifestyle while the Jetsons were white collar.
