Morgan Pielli '08
Against his wishes, Morgan Pielli was born in Connecticut. Here he began creating comics of dubious quality from the tender age of seven. At age twelve his cartoons began appearing in the school newspaper; and the tragic course he had set was clear. But in an unexpected moment of weakness, Morgan decided that a classical art education was needed. After four years of painting pictures of squares bigger than his head, Morgan physically pried a BFA from the cold unfeeling hands of Bard College president Leon Botstein. Dr. Botstein shook his fist and cursed Morgan, vowing to someday have his revenge. Currently Morgan resides in Vermont where he attends the Center for Cartoon Studies. His cartoons The Dancing Paperclip of Tormented Souls and Morgan's Guide to a Fruitful Life are read by several people world-wide and enjoyed by nearly as many. Morgan's work can be found at morganpielli.rated-arr.net if you're into that sort of thing.

Jeff Lok '08
Jeff Lok used to be a gag cartoonist. He used to be funny, he thinks. He doesn't know what happened. Reader's Digest is still reprinting a cartoon he did. It's just a stupid suburban shipping and handling gag, but the way he drew the woman's leg it looks like she's playing with herself while staring at a picture of a banana. They won't stop printing it! Keep up with Jeff's exciting life and work at jefflok.livejournal.com
