This year’s annual fundraising comic imagines two revered and iconic Victorian-era writers attending The Center for Cartoon Studies. Whereas time-traveling Brontë sisters may be a stretch, exceptionally talented international creators moving to Vermont to hone their craft and launch their careers is not. With its rigorous curriculum and nurturing community, The Center for Cartoon Studies is a school like no other.
CCS faculty member Glynnis Fawkes created this year’s comic. Her graphic novel, Charlotte Brontë Before Jane Eyre was published this fall to critical acclaim. The New York Times called it “emotionally nuanced and visually stunning.” Though a lot has changed since the Victorian times, the challenges facing young artists, especially women, are still fierce.
The Center for Cartoon Studies invites you to join us in helping support these remarkably talented artists.
