Howard Grad the next Aaron McGruder?


"Watch Your Head" an new comicstrip by Cory Thomas , a mid-20s African-American cartoonist, and Howard University is set to launch on March 27th. The comicstrip will be distrbuted by the Washington Post Writers Group.

"Watch Your Head" is set at the predominately black Oliver Otis University, and focuses on six student characters (mostly African American but one a white Canadian).

"He has a real ensemble cast," WPWG Comics Editor Amy Lago said of Thomas, noting that a lot of other cartoonists launch their comics with a smaller number of characters.

Lago also praised "Watch Your Head" for its "character-driven humor" as well as its art, which Thomas draws in color every day. (Black and white strips are available, too.)

"Watch Your Head" is set to launch almost two months ahead of schedule. The WPWG move the schedule up because of the impending six month sabbatical of the "The Boodocks" foundr Aaron McGruder who is scheduled to take a vacation.
"Watch Your Head" has been in development with WPWG for about a year.

Universal Comics will be making "Boondocks" reruns available to those clients who want to use them during McGruder's sabbatical.

Impractical. Along these lines, keeping in mind the end goal to be 90 days late times, it is numerically unthinkable on the off chance that you were not 60 days late no less than times. Apologies, can't get to third base without passing a respectable halfway point. payday loans san-diego

Every loaning foundation conveys its own arrangement of principles for potential borrowers, and the journey for reasonable understudy credits might be your first genuine instructive exam. cash advance

Graduates may not understand the significance of understudy advance help programs for their future money related status, yet they will not long after graduation. Frequently the graduate is totally ignorant of the aggregate obligation they accumulated all through the most recent 4 years. check cashing
