No joke, comics library turns 30

Somebody writes The Columbus Dispatch has a report on the only cartoon research library in the world. This year, the library celebrates 30 years in the business. There are many collections out there, but the OSU library under the direction of curator Lucy Shelton Caswell has, since 1977, amassed 2.5 million comic-strip clippings, about 250,000 original cartoons and 51,000 serial titles, including comic books. Its book titles number 34,000.”

I did some work for Lucy and the gang in the CRL, it’s a neat place, not as funny as you might think, but very interesting place to visit if you’re in Columbus.
