The web-based
Education News, which covers various national and international education topics, recently highlighted the comic degree that’s available through the
Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
It’s one of only three such programs around the country, the story states, citing information from
MPR and the
Star Tribune.
Local author Britt Aamodt, who profiled over 20 area artists in a book called, “Superheroes, Strip Artists & Talking Animals: Minnesota’s Contemporary Cartoonists,” is quoted saying that a “recent crop of artists is taking Minnesota’s scene to new heights.”
Aamodt goes on to say that the local comic artists have "really spread their wings,” and, “They can tell any kind of story. And they just don’t have to be about men in tights.”
