I did a summer workshop at the Center for Cartoon Studies a couple of years ago, and I found it just unbelievably densely packed with a mix of great instruction, illuminating history, and inspiring ideas. Robyn Chapman has just written a great blog post based on one of her lectures. It’s easy to get stuck in the idea of zines printed on letter-sized paper and then folded in half – it’s easy and effective, and it can be quite good-looking – but WOW, there are a lot more options out there.

I can be kind of staid with matters like this, and I’ve been considering form more for my next few projects, now that I’m feeling more practiced at creating content. Articles like this get that particular part of my imagination firing.
