Kids Drawing Comics

Growing up, my brother and I awaited the arrival of the Sunday paper so we could fight over read the comics.

My kids are immersed in drawing comics. The fascination began when they discovered the inimitable Calvin & Hobbes. We gradually built a collection of Calvin & Hobbes books and they would just read, crack up, and read more.
