Center for Cartoon Studies... the gift that keeps on giving. Yet another student knocks my socks off with this terrific art by Laura Terry. From top going clockwise, that's Chris Duffy (Nickelodeon), Calista Brill (First Second), me, and Peggy Burns (Drawn & Quarterly).

Wow! Beautiful.

Oh, and here's a terrific pic from Jen Vaughn's photo set on Flickr. Calista, myself, and Chris.
