About Classroom Comics

My project — of which this webpage is a part — successfully emerged from the “proposal” stage, on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 when I received the “OK” from the graduate school to proceed. I will create my dissertation of practice as a comic book, released serially, on a bi-monthly schedule over the next ten months. When all the issues have been released in the early spring of 2016, I will gather them together in a single “trade paperback” volume to be published with notes and an explanatory preface/introduction.

I am new to dissertations myself; traditionally, they are works outlining a scientific research study comprised of five chapters: Introduction. Literature Review. Methodology. Findings. Discussion.

My comics will roughly follow that design. As a “proof of concept” I started the first issue late in June of 2015. For private and educational purposes, you are welcome to download the color files here.

I welcome your comments, criticism and suggestions. Indeed, I am printing and responding to selected reader reactions in the “Key Strokes” letters column pages appearing at the back of each “ish.”

Thank you for listening, and I look forward to your response to these “classroom comics.”
