How Art School Is A Scam (And Also Totally Necessary)
by Dave Baker
When I graduated high school I was a bit lost. Shocking, I know. I didn’t know what direction to take my life other than to go to college, because that’s the thing you do. I knew I wanted to make comics and be a cartoonist. But going to college seemed like a complete waste of time.
It’s unlike that you’ve ever read a graphic novel quite like Dave Baker’s Mary Tyler MooreHawk before. This sprawling adventure tale is both a heady pulp adventure and a formally inventive work with more layers than you’d expect. (It would fit comfortably beside the work of James Stokoe and Tom Scioli on your shelves.) We’re pleased to present an excerpt from the book, along with Baker’s thoughts on making prose and comics work in harmony.
