“In the midst of these blurry days, these projects seem like some kind of beacon of light, like they’re really important.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cartoonist James Sturm<\/a> checks in from Hartland, VT. We talk about how COVID-19 has affected learning at the Center for Cartoon Studies<\/a> (he’s the founder and director of that institution), his weekly digital Sabbath, recording video-dispatches with cartoonists about this experience, missing Tom Spurgeon<\/a> and how he would have helped us cope with this, and more. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go learn more about the Center for Cartoon Studies<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“We have 35 students; I can’t imagine how hard it would be schools that are exponentially more than that: 350, 35,000. I don’t even know how you’d handle that online transition.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
