Episode 44, Heide Solbrig and LJ Baptiste

"Cartoonist" sounds like one of those jobs that would be cool to have, but how does one go about getting there? Well, turns out there is no one way, says Heide Solbrig, a cartoonist and media scholar who teaches art, comics and media studies throughout Boston. That's one of the reasons why she — along with LJ Baptiste, another art educator and cartoonist from Boston, whose comic series COMIXSCAPE has been running since 2012 — have developed a certificate program at MassArt to help would-be cartoonists figure out where to start. Both of them are this month's guests on Strip Search, where they talk to hosts Dave London and Pete Chianca about the program, the Boston comics scene, and their own upcoming projects.
