This past March, 2nd, 2016 was the NEA’s national “Read Across America” day. \u00a0A day where schools, libraries and community centers celebrate reading. (The day also coincides with Dr. Seuss’ birthday).<\/p>\n

In watching news coverage, I was surprised and encouraged to see children holding and reading \u00a0BOOKS. \u00a0In this digital age where the latest tablet, e-reader, or gadget captivates, it’s nice to see kids holding and reading paper bound books and magazines. \u00a0There is a tangible immediacy in a book that a tablet or electronic device cannot equal. \u00a0Print appears to be very much alive.<\/p>\n

\"comics<\/a>This is why I’m so very excited about a new Kickstarter project! <\/a><\/p>\n

“Comics Monthly” is a brand new comic magazine <\/a>hitting your doorstep very soon (get a subscription)! \u00a0It’s a collection of some of your favorite comic strips plus new comic strips that will sure to win you over. \u00a0And, in a nice twist, readers can vote for their favorites.<\/p>\n

It’s really wonderful to see a new comics magazine entering the marketplace. \u00a0A magazine! \u00a0Something you can hold in your hands and flip through the pages!<\/p>\n

Now, I love digital media as much as the next guy. \u00a0But sometimes the tried and true is the bet way to present material. \u00a0In this case, print is a wonderful medium to showcase comic strips and comic art.<\/p>\n

And, I’m told the cartoon content is family friendly. \u00a0In addition, copies of the magazine will be donated to children’s hospitals.<\/p>\n

My mother used to complain to her sister (my aunt Eleanor) that all I did was read comics all day. \u00a0My aunt, a very accomplished school teacher, pointed out to mom, “Yes. \u00a0But he’s READING.” \u00a0Sure enough, eventually I graduated to novels, historical biographies, etc. \u00a0(But I still LOVE to read comics!)<\/p>\n

In the same way, a magazine like “Comics Monthly”<\/a>\u00a0helps to set\u00a0a child on the path toward reading. \u00a0(It’s another reason why I’m excited about this project).<\/p>\n

A printed magazine that encourages reading with free copies to children’s hospitals. \u00a0It’s a\u00a0win-win-win!<\/p>\n

Consider subscribing or donating to the project.<\/p>\n
