One is in "External Links" under "Cartoon Research Library"... a disappointing entry, but an interesting-looking link of the same name under "External Links." Once you are on that home page, try clicking on 'FAQ' (for frequently asked questions that may be helpful), on 'Online Resources," which REALLY should be helpful, and whatever else you may want to follow. This link looks helpful as well, since it offers 'entry' to such 'places' as "Program Info" and "Zac and Deb" and "Blackline Masters"...I clicked on a couple of those and see that this outfit is well into selling the idea that kids learn reading better if books include many good illustrations, if not actually being comics. This could also lead to more links if you find them buried in there, where links often are. (Buried, that is.) There is also "Comic Conventions" to look at in Wiki, with a great many links to explore, but I just didn't stumble on the right ones to lead you to. You may want to put these search words into Wiki as well, however, and see if you can find a helpful link for at least a quote or two. I did the best I could. Hopefully more folks have chimed in with more links for you. Luck-- Wiki, as usual, has many entries through which other helpful links can be found.
