Jim's Page!!
Well, who is Jim....Jim Borgman! Yes, the one and only Jim Borgman! I know I know, this isn't my obsessive compulsive page...but I'll move him on there as soon as I get THAT page going. ;-)
Well, I'm sure you're all anxious to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on Jim Borgman. Many of us know him as the hilarious cartoonist behind the comic "Zits" (with co- Jerry Scott).
Did you know that ALLISON COTTRELL actually knows him? Has talked to this wonderful-man-of-a-man face to face?? I can't believe it!! Ugh..... let's all get jealous now....
Let's talk Jim:
- Jim's Birthday is coming up! Aren't you excited?? Its the 24th of February, and according to my caculations he's gonna be 48. My goodness...he's so young!
- Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Borgman is among the most respected cartoonists in America.
- Borgman graduated summa cum laude from Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he is known to the community for his tenure as staff artist and editorial cartoonist for the Kenyon Collegian from 1974 to 1976.
- On the basis of his college cartoons, The Cincinnati Enquirer hired him in 1976 to begin work immediately following his graduation. He created 'Zits', his first comic strip, in collaboration with cartoonist Jerry Scott, who also scripts 'Baby Blues'.
- 'Zits' debuted in July, 1997 in more than 200 newspapers - one of the strongest comic strip introductions in years. King Features now distributes 'Zits' to 900 newspapers.
