[Comicsstudiessociety] CC&C working group symposium

[Gardner, Jared]

Hi, CSS friends,

This past semester, a bunch of us held an informal working group via zoom and a class website to explore what we playfully termed “comics before comics”—caricature and cartooning from the 17th century through the turn of the 20th. This Caricature, Cartooning, and Comics working group is wrapping up tomorrow with an informal symposium in which a few of our members and a couple of friends are sharing some of the things they are working on and/or thinking about.

PS: While our live sessions are done for the year, you can access previous recordings and shared materials by “enrolling” at https://openlearning.catalog.instructure.com/courses/caricature-cartooning-comics-1620-1920. I am planning a second CC&C tour for 2022, but no hard plans for topic yet.
