Dr.Wangari Maathai was born April 1, 1940. She grew up in Nyeri, a village in Kenya, where she began her education with the support of her family. She had great love for the trees of Kenya, but she noticed the degradation of the environment around 1970. Dr.Wangari is best known for her achievement of the Green Belt Movement, where millions of trees were replanted in Kenya. She was also the first African woman to receive a doctorate degree. Dr.Wangari died of cervical cancer in 2011, but the millions of trees she helped replant will live on with her memory.

Karen Green has a deep love for comics and New York City. Her love for New York stems from her childhood. At a very young age her family moved out of their home in the Michigan suburbs to the eighth floor of an apartment in Fort Lee, New Jersey. One of her earliest experiences of New York was the Cloisters Museum. The tapestries, paintings, and Gregorian chants that echoed through the halls took her in from the start.

Nothing brings UW Stout student comic artist Micah Amundsen more joy than sitting down to work on their comics. They’re incredibly passionate about their work, possibly to a fault. They would love it if you would check out their webcomic The Roommate From Hell, an LGBT paranormal urban fantasy which can be read at enchantedpencil.com/roomie.

In 1985 Orazio Fumagalli, founding faculty, wrote a poetic and self-aware essay about the founding of the UW Stout's School of Art and Design. In 2014 sophomore-senior students in the newly created Entertainment Design Major took this much mimeographed document and translated it to comics with the generous research assistance of Heather Stecklein, UW Stout Archivist. In this collaborative work we celebrate the expansion of our craft and 50 years of our history at UW Stout!
