Carolyn Nowak (BFA 11) is featured as one of A.V. Club’s 10 great cartoonists you need to know: Celebrating International Women’s Day”.

Carolyn Nowak may be familiar to readers for her work as an artist on the award-winning Lumberjanes (Boom!), but she is a superb cartoonist who is best appreciated when writing and drawing her own comics. This is exemplified in her autobiographical Lazy strips; the weird, funny, and touching Girl Town; Rungs; or this poignant short comic on beauty. Nowak has a gift to seamlessly broach any subject and make it easily engaging.
