SATURDAY -- 1:30-2:30PM, State Room A Level: Cartoon Fun with Phil Yeh
Kids! Have you ever wanted to make your very own comic strip story?
Now's the time! Our friend Phil Yeh, who draws Winged Tiger Comics & Stories, goes to schools all
over the country helping children release their imagination through comic art. His seminars, known
to keep an auditorium full of elementary school kids rapt, are a treat. Parents, we ask that you
accompany small children to this hands-on workshop.
SUNDAY -- 1:30-2:30PM, State Room A Level: Bilingual Literacy through Comics
Cartoonist Phil Yeh has already blazed a trail using comics as a springboard to youth literacy
and creativity, now he's preparing to launch a new line of work in English/Spanish, /Chinese, and
/German, to name a few. This brings the quest for literacy to a new level and potentially opens up
brand new international markets for alternative comics. Come hear all about it.
