How do I get into the comics industry?

Hi, Jay! One of the best out there that I've heard of is the Sequential Art program at Savannah College of Art and Design. There are an increasing number of these programs, specifically at art schools around the country, but SCAD's seems to produce a wonderfully high number of super cartoonists. Also look at the Center for Cartoon Studies, which offers Masters and certificate programs. As for getting into the industry, my own experience, and what I've heard professionals cite time and time again is that step number 1 is make comics! Number 2 is put them out there--sell mini-comics at festivals and cons, get them online (try your own site, but also consider sites like Webtoons and Tapastic (now Tapas.io). Comics are one of the few mediums that you really don't need any resources other than something to draw with and time to do it (unlike animation, for example, which requires software and/or camera equipment, and loads more time, etc.). I asked Kazu Kibuishi once how he picked his contributors to the Flight anthologies. He said the most important thing was making and sharing great work--that solicitation to be included was not valuable to him, but if he found work that was exciting, he would reach out to the creator. Good luck, Jay! Have fun making comics!
