Treatment-Lauren Oppenlander

1. A girl putting away books in the library finds one that probably could be the worst book ever written. Problem is, it's sentient and telekinetic. And after years of no one bothering to finish reading him, he's determined to make it happen. And he's not taking no as an answer.

-started as a daydream in old testament

2. Pete and Repete are twins conjoined at the hip. Pete's really smart, Repete bites, both don't seem to be aiming for heaven.

-after seeing a documentary about twin girls attached at the head, and learning about parasitic twins, a series of "what if's" ensued.

Jake talked about comics, but everything he said could be applied to animation, illustration, film, pie making. Maybe not everything related to pie making, and the getting into the comic industry was pretty comic specific. But whatever your here for, you've got to want it. Don't settle for a half developed story, or the current version of the piece your working on just because you've gotten pretty far on it. Don't be afraid to throw that pie crust away when you know you can bake a flakier one. And why make a strawberry pie in the middle of winter, when if you waited a few months to when they were in season and could get the freshest, juiciest berries?

Don't do the minimal your classes require to pass, and expect to leave school with an invitation to be a new pie creator at Marie Callender's.

Syllabus-Oppenlander

I don't know much about anything when it comes to comics. I'm more interested about studying comic artists and storytelling styles from different parts of the world.

I'd like a lesson or two to be on how to make comics, but I feel I'll learn more studying and reading comics.
