recent years, Scott has given visual lectures on <b><span style='font-weight:

universities, museums, film and music festivals and government organizations.
Topics include <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Comics Storytelling, Online

Comics. </span></b>Visuals include a cascade of <b><span style='font-weight:

and diagrams, rather than the usual sleep-inducing bulleted list) and <b><span

hooks up his drawing tablet so that he can <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>sketch
