Lynda Barry is a Macarthur “genius”

She is also a talented teacher: we both taught the same Clarion class a few years back and the profound effect she had on our students shone through in their work. In early November, Drawn and Quarterly will publish Making Comics, which anthologizes her teaching exercises and her pedagogical method, honed in her years as an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison art department and at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (it’s a companion volume to her 2014 book Syllabus).
