Summer School: Cartoon Writing

Wednesday 18 January 2012, 10:00AM - 4:00PM

Presented by: Andrew Marlton
Rating: Early and Emerging
Type: Workshop

Cartoons capture and entertain audiences by combining the written word with the powerful impact of images and humour. Cartoons are an effective medium for social commentary, inciting political awareness or for simply creating a story.

First Dog on the Moon (Andrew Marlton) is the senior editorial cartoonist at Crikey.com.au where he mercilessly lampoons anyone who gets his goat. By all accounts a lovely fellow and quite approachable, his cartoons are in wide demand and are available on t-shirts but not yet underpants. Andrew illustrated The Wombat and the Grand Poohjam, written by Jackie French. His most recent book First Dog on the Moon’s The Story of the Christmas Story, which he wrote and illustrated, was released in 2010 (Text).
