    Metaphors and Symbols

    by
    Earlier this week, I went to an ice cream place called, Moo Thru. The name title on the building reminds me of the Metaphors and Symbols concept. The main symbol of the sign is the cartoon cow’s head. Its eyes resemble the O’s in “Moo”. The bottom of the U in “Thru” has a cow […]

    The Practice of Cartooning

    by
    Bill, a DS106 friend, shared out that he is reading Ivan Brunetti’s Cartooning: Philosophy and Practice — which Brunetti describes as a sort of cartooning class in a book — and so a few of us — Sarah, Ron, etc. — are also getting the book. Mine arrived via library yesterday. I joked that Brunetti […]
