Stretch marks (2021)

Hello, little stylus!

I mean, not as much in humanities classes, but yeah. We have actual books on stuff like color theory or composition or art history, but we also get reading assignments that are just straight up comic books or strips, and in class we pick them apart by discussing style, layout, lettering, ect... like how English majors get assigned classic literature to analyze.

Some of our textbooks are formatted as graphic novels. Like Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics book series, for example.

I would highly recommend this for anyone with even a passing interest in comics by the way. Like no joke, there are so many more decisions to drawing even a simple 4 panel strip than I'd ever thought about. Plus it's a really fun read.

Nah, I mean comics. As in cartooning. It's a separate major at my school.

It's like the illustration program, and in fact the two kinda overlap in alot of ways. Like the first year, illustration and cartooning majors share a "foundation year" as freshmen so you're all learning the same basics. And alot of comics classes are open to illustration majors and vice versa.
