"Cartoon Storytelling"

“Cartoon Storytelling” is a way for students (of all ages) to use cartooning skills so that they can create stories that help them deal with personal experiences – sometimes traumatic ones.

In 2023, Steven Fischer received his second Fulbright Specialist grant to present the class at the University of Tokyo in Japan. (His first came in 2014 where he presented Cartoon Storytelling at The University of Debrecen in Hungary.) The 2023 grant was supplemented by support from the University of Tokyo, which first offered Cartoon Storytelling in 2021, producing two volumes of original cartoons titled Tokyo Cartoon, and Tokyo Cartoon Volume II. Fischer’s 2023 Fulbright award supports the creation of the third volume, which was completed between October and November.
