News Around The Kingdom: Spring Is Here!

by The King

This week, we welcomed guest blogger Kurt Kolka, freelance cartoonist and author of “Bullying Is No Laughing Matter,” into the Comics Kingdom fold. Kurt has done an amazing job this week of sharing his valuable insights and personal experience with bullying. it’s been a pleasure and honoring getting to know him, and we give him a hearty round of applause for his work on the blog this week. Thank you, Kurt! Fans may purchase a copy of Kurt Kolka’s book here.

 
While we are on the topic of bullying, we encourage you to check out Bill Bettwy’s “Bullies Beware” special weeklong series in which Tillman faces a school bully head-on using reason and quick comebacks. it is a great series because it approaches bullying from a different perspective and places the power back with the intended target.  Fans can read the entire series online at www.tinkersons.com or on Comics Kingdom.
