1. Be broadcast on a crowdsource Tuesday
2. Be archived with its own URL
3. not get buried here in the comments section. I'm sure lots of folks will have great ideas for you!

Great to have you in the mix!

Comment by Jay Peteranetz on July 22, 2010 at 7:48am: Hey all!
My name is Jay and I am an MFA student studying comics at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta. I am working on my thesis right now, for which the current working title is "Comics for Literacy: From Birth to Adulthood." I am glad to meet you all, and would love to discuss any ideas on this front with anyone. I have a website with some of my recent work up at jnoblepeteranetz.com if you want to take a look! Thank you all!

Comment by Sari Wilson on July 19, 2010 at 8:54pm: Okay, think I got it now. It's souped it up. Hope it will be of some interest. Glad to have access to this forum...thanks, Ryan!

Comment by Ryan Goble on July 19, 2010 at 8:31pm: No big deal - Ning master - that is a funny name, I might "don a cloak" and become one - thanks for working through this - it is a great post esp. if you soup it up with some cool hyperlinks!

Thanks for adding your writing to the mix!

Comment by Ryan Goble on July 19, 2010 at 8:27pm: Close - if you post it above in the discussion forum it will have its own url and won't get lost (stuff on the comment wall gets buried) - just copy and paste into this (see where the hand says "add discussion") right above where we're commenting:
