by Ryleek Acree ’18 | Mr. Sousa’s AEI class is learning about cartooning. They have drawn some of the comics posted on The Great Griff. I asked the artists, as well as Mr. Sousa, a few questions about this interest of theirs.
Q: What current cartoon are you working on?
Chris Banko, ’16: It’s about a bunch of superhero puns with funny problems.
Destiny Woodward, ’17: I just finished this cartoon called #Trendy and #Thighgap with Megan Fitzgerald (’15).
Q: Why did you choose cartooning as your interest?
Chris: I like making people laugh and I like to draw.
Destiny: Me and my friend Megan thought it would be fun.
Q: What is your all time favorite cartoon?
Chris: If it’s a basic cartoon I’d say the Snoopy and Charlie Brown ones; but if a major one, Iron Man
Destiny: Looney Tunes. Megan likes Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Q: Do you make cartoons in your spare time?
Chris: I do most of the time. I draw things I try to get better at.
Destiny: Megan does, but I don’t. I think of the words. We’re a team!
I even interviewed Mr. Sousa.
Q: Why did you choose to teach cartooning?
Guest Star Mr. Sousa: I like cartoons. I’m not a good drawer, so I got a class where students could teach me.
Q: What are some of your favorite cartoons?
Mr. Sousa: Garfield or X-Men.
Q: Do you draw cartoons in your free time?
Mr. Sousa: No, but I wish.
Q: What cartoon character is your favorite, and why?
Mr. Sousa: Cyclops from X-Men. He used glasses for a power. It made me feel better about wearing glasses.
