A central goal for this course is to establish a firm grasp on cartoon making. The goal is to empower you, the cartoonist, to generate ideas and stories at the heart of making cartoons. By the end of the course, you will be able to discuss cartooning through the completion of several cartoons. The major outcomes of this course include the following: (a) developing idea and story processes, (b) designing a cartoon framework, and (c) demonstrating your cartooning knowledge by producing at least one cartoon that is print-ready.
