I used to believe that I never needed a reason to draw comics. I just liked it. But that's probably not 100% true.

It turns out that every comic, every artistic artifact, has a reason for existing. I'm trying harder to help my students find reasons for making comics. The comic above ^ is about Children's Rights. It's a bold statement for a 5th grader to make. Ryan isn't really into drawing but I'd like to think he had fun making this comic.

I'd like to think he discovered a good reason to make art.
