Toronto comic artist shares memoir as graphic novel
Toronto illustrator and cartoonist Paul Gilligan has created works for some of the world's most popular animated shows.
CP24 Breakfast October 11, 2024
Jonathan Roth has 2 new books out, both dealing with space. Rover and Speck #3: It's a Gas! is about exploring a gas giant and finding life. His picture book, Almost Underwear: How a Piece of Cloth Traveled from Kitty Hawk to the Moon and Mars is shown in a number of these photos, and is really very interesting even to an adult.
The pictures that follow are of this event and are pretty self-explanatory.
Join us at Scrawl Books on October 12 at 2PM as we welcome Jonathan Roth! Jonathan will be teaching a Create Your Own Graphic Novel workshop for kids in honor of the release of Rover and Speck: It’s a Gas! This is the third installment in Jonathan Roth’s popular graphic novel series about an endearingly mismatched pair of space-traveling rover friends: organized and careful Rover, and impulsive, excitable Speck.
When Jonathan was talking about designing a graphic novel to the children, he asked me what was the most number of panels ever used on a page. This blog post is the start of that research.
My apologies because these are in reverse order, thanks to Google's excellent care for and improvements to Blogger.

Daily comics in color! Yay!
I'd like to think it's your direct response to "Don't read it and weep," my plea in the March 9 Free for All, to make the dialogue in "WuMo" more readable, as it often disappeared into a dark gray background created when the strip was converted from color to grayscale.
Since then, I regret to report, it seems "WuMo" is not very funny after all.
Harvey Kabaker, Silver Spring
I always read the Sunday comics, but I confess I stopped reading the daily comics years ago. Your decision to print Monday through Saturday in color has caused me to become a daily reader again. Brilliant idea. I have a feeling I'm not the only one who is attracted to bright colors and shiny objects.
Pam Gates, Rockville
"We're bringing more color to your daily life." Wow, more color in the comics. In contrast, a few months ago the Religion coverage every Saturday disappeared. A better understanding of the religious landscape encourages respect for the diversity of faith traditions. Color in the comics contributes to what?
Kerry Stoltzfus, Sandy Spring
What a delight to read Garry Trudeau's Sept. 25 Wednesday Opinion essay, "The Rigger," a clever dive into the deep state by a character who never was. However, I was dismayed to read the word "Satire" above the headline. Why was it necessary?
Even "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift's 1729 masterpiece of irony, is not identified as satirical. Readers are forced to come to their own conclusion. Nevertheless, we must have our trigger warnings lest we be tricked into actually thinking.
Stephanie Demma, North Bethesda
No doubt you imagine her pretentious drawings promoting topics found on social media are attracting younger readers. Do you understand how many older readers are dismayed to see her silliness featured again and again in vast portions of the opinion pages? Her Sept. 30 cartoon, "The unstoppable rise of Moo Deng, the internet's favorite hippo," is a case in point.
Herblock is turning in his grave.
Elizabeth Broun, Bethesda
