Academia Nuts: Select Cartoons, 1992-2012
Dear Columbus State family, I hope you enjoy this selection of Academia Nuts cartoons. I feel enormously privileged to have had the opportunity to create these for the college.
After doing caricature and pen-and-ink illustrations for Columbus State’s former newsletter, The Associate, my work evolved into a monthly editorial-style cartoon that ran in each print edition of Update newsletter, beginning in 1998. The cartoon continued to run in the electronic issues of Update until 2012.
Initially, the theme of the cartoon was technology. But, after a year of that, I decided to make it about the world of higher education; hence the name Academia Nuts. Every cartoon was reviewed before publication by the long-time editor of Update, Suzanne May.
They are all done in brush and ink with wash on illustration board. Most of these can be purchased, with the proceeds given to the college’s scholarship fund. The smaller ones are priced at $150.00, and the larger at $250.00. If you are interested, please send me your request by email at prehg@cscc.edu
