Brilliant Boy for literacy!

November 2nd, 2009

Tim and I were asked by the Literacy Coordinator at Calico Public School (in Toronto) if we would like to participate in their Literacy Night, an evening of fun and festivities to promote reading among their students. Of course, we said “Yes”! So I created a Brilliant Boy-themed handout that included cartooning tips, Brilliant Boy comic strips, and a comic template for the aspiring cartoonists.

As many as 90 students dropped by our table as we gave demonstrations on how to illustrate and cartoon. Kids just love to draw and colour, and it was fun just watching them doodle. We had a great time, and we think the kids did too. Thanks for the invite, Calico P.S.!

    Bummer, this blog should have been sent Monday or early Tue. reaindgrg the dance, I would have sent my daughter with money. You may have many people bringing money up to the school. I asked the PTA about a dance and they weren’t aware of one so I really didn’t think there was one.Thank you.

    There is a critical shortage of informative articles like this.

    Oh, and I have also since joked around with Jamie Bamber at a party and shaken hands and chatted briefly with both David Eick and Ron Moore.And I’ve had long conversations with Jane Espenson as I sat beside her on two separate occasions.It has nothing to do with Harry Potter, but it’s pretty cool.

    Many thanks for your post. I would like to say that the tariff of car insurance differs a lot from one plan to another, mainly because there are so many different issues which give rise to the overall cost. One example is, the brand name of the car or truck will have a significant bearing on the price tag. A reliable ancient family motor vehicle will have a more affordable premium over a flashy performance car.

    Le Grand Paris ne coûterait pas plus cher que tous ces projets démentiels de TGV (pour raccourcir le trajet Paris Bordeaux d’une heure par exemple) ou d’aéroport international à Nantes (plus le TGV…) et cela concernerait le quotidien de millions de gens qui subissent un calvaire dans les RER, plutôt que des centaines de milliers de voyageurs, de temps en temps…
