For the attention of rAdams everywhere

May Neil forgive me for shamelessly lifting this from his blog, but since there are some... Minneapoleans? Minneapelites? Minnelaplanders? folks from one of the Twin Cities present around here, I thought it was applicable:

Nearly forgot: if you're in the Minneapolis area in August, Scott McCloud is reprising his amazing comics theory and practice workshop seminar. If you want to make comics (or if you already make comics and want to do better comics), you should seriously think about doing Scott's seminar.

You can sign up for the course [here] and read about what the course consists of at [here]. Scott is a national treasure, he doesn't teach the course often. Personally, I'm hoping that enough people sign up that they make Scott do an extra week, as they did in 2002.

Scott also promises that I will really really like Flight Comics, and I believe him. I just need the time to browse, and prove it to myself...

Scott McCloud, for those of you unware, is the author of Understanding Comics, a superlative treatise on the theory and practice of sequential art (aka comics). It's an incredible work, which my descriptions can only fail to justice to. Suffice it to say that if you have any interest in the medium, even in passing, you must read this book.
