KEVIN MCCLOSKEY INVITED TO JOURNAL THROUGH COMICS
Kevin McCloskey, Department of Communication Design, was invited by The Comics Journal to contribute a Cartoonist's Diary for their website. His essay, "The Wide World of Kutztown," is based on his experiences sketching in Kutztown during the pandemic. Five daily episodes appear this week at the website: http://www.tcj.com. McCloskey is retiring this summer, after 30 years teaching illustration at Kutztown University, to devote his time to his children's books.
