A
t times, life can resemble an over-the-top bad science-fiction comic book. You know the type, where an alien killer germ wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting community. Heroes emerge. Skies are ablaze. Lessons are learned.
.Though stranger than fiction, with the invasion of the coronavirus, we were
all upended this spring as SVA had to close its actual doors, and open new virtual portals of survival. Though everyone has experienced the pandemic in their own challenging ways, the seniors in Cartooning and Illustration were denied the triedand-true rituals leading up to graduation: personal exit reviews, industry forums, a “zine” convention day, and the other sweet events that usually occur before donning their mortarboards and gowns. Luckily one of the traditions has remained
[BUSTAMONTE FRONT COVER] unscathed: the annual publication of the Cartooning Magazine!
.The logistics were not easy to manage in our new “Zoom normal.” All of the
faculty worried about the students completing their projects in hibernation and/
or quarantine, and some young artists were lost without the digital labs, the print workshops or the risograph machines. Those in the studios felt cut off from the sense of family they had throughout the school year. We all had to adapt like ninjas to the online versions of our hands-on courses . . . but we did it.
.The big surprise was the results were not compromised, in fact, in certain ways
they were enhanced. The personal vision of these fledgling cartoonists was heightened, as often happens during periods of great challenge. There was a plethora of
material created within this modestly sized department, and most of it was created with great ambition, elan and sincerity. It was difficult to edit these stories down to fit within the parameters of this collection. Ka-pow! Take that, EVIL VIRUS!!! .We are all very proud of these graduates, and wish them all the best as we see the brighter days, hazy on the horizon. This year, the covers of our two publications are a nod to our lives in the Zoom boxes—crazy uncomfortable virtual dreams, comforting and disturbing, yet still full of life. . . . As the great Roman orator Cicero said, “Where there is life, there is hope.” .I would like to thank the senior portfolio BFA Cartooning faculty who helped in the selection process: Nicholas Bertozzi, David Mazzucchelli and Gary Panter; as well as Jason Little, Cartooning coordinator, who assembled the primary layout; and the Visual Arts Press for their final brilliant design. I also need to give special thanks to Carolyn Hinkson-Jenkins, who was the departmental “Rock of Ages” through this storm; and to Curtis Edwards, who organized all the digital files for our reviews and held my virtual hand through the complex undertaking of creating this project. .We also thank President David Rhodes for his vision and support of this ongoing document.
