Jeff to give commencement speech at The Center for Cartoon Studies
Jeff will deliver the Commencement Speech to The Center for Cartoon Studies’ Class of 2009! Please join in at the Northern Stage Theater in the Briggs Opera House, White River Junction, Vermont. Commencement begins at 11am, with a Thesis Reception following at 12pm
This ceremony, which will be held this Saturday May 16, 2009, is free and open to the public!
You can visit their website at www.cartoonstudies.org
Alec Longstreth and Joe Lambert did a special 2 page spread for 7 Day’s, which is Vermont’s Alternative Weekly paper. Here is just a sample from their strip. You can see the full strip here.
Well congratulations, Jeff! & I read somewhere that you didn’t finish your degree. Maybe you could copy your speech here–your insights about comments are always worth reading.

Sorry–I meant insights about COMICS, not comments!

Jeff,
I know this is really random and off-topic, but have you heard of the Monkey Island games? They are really cool games, they were made before I was born(I was born in 1997)! The first one was made in 1990 but the rest, I dunno. Anyway, has anybody heard of these games? They are AWESOME! (Especially the third one)

Haha somewhat late to reply on this post, but I had to! I just noticed in the last panel of that strip, the two graduates in the background talking to each other in comic boxes! Love it!
Bianca, the Monkey Island games are awesome! LucasArts is releasing a special edition of the first game, with all new high definition graphics! Plus, the game lets you switch between the new and the original graphics at any time! Then, Telltale Games is releasing a new Monkey Island series. All the classic adventure games made by LucasArts, Sierra and a few other companies are pretty cool
