Sources, Sources, Sources!!!

(NOTE: UPDATED on Friday, 10:00 am WITH THE CORRECT AUDIO CLIP under the HOMEWORK section)

I wanted to list a group of websites that might be helpful for your paper:

1. Newsarama has a lot of great interviews with creators (both artists and writers)
2. The Comics Journal has some great analysis of comics (great if you're looking for ways to analyze comics.
3. Comics and Comix and Comics Research is a listing of comic book research and resources on the web (pertaining to cultural studies)
4. WordBalloon and Fanboy Radio are both interview shows with a variety of comic book artists and writers.
5. Comics Foundry has great interviews with writers and artists.
6. Comic Book Resources has a list of links that, if you can't find what you're looking for in the previous sections, you can probably find resources here to help you with your paper.
7. Wikipedia has biographies of most of the artists and writers. DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA AS A SOURCE!!!! But use the sources listed in their directory for your paper.

HOMEWORK:
1. WRITE your paper and make sure your folder is in order for next class. You need:
- Final Paper and Works Cited
- Outline
- Quizzes (4)
- Sources (3) with highlighted passages

2. For Monday's class, LISTEN to The NERVE: Sentimental Journey (Music and Emotion episode 60 minutes) (right click, click save as)
