Nice things that others have said about me if you need to convince your Department Head, who knows nothing about comics, to have me come to your school:

“Paul has a kind of intelligence combined with earnestness that comes from someplace deep not a recipe book. He is very, very, very intelligent.” 
- Art Spiegelman
Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, “MAUS: A Survivor’s Tale”

“As a practicing cartoonist, Paul has vast insight into how we read and interpret visual images, and what’s more he is a whiz at explaining how he and other artists use that knowledge to create tell stories. For all his erudition, he's witty, accessible and fun.”

- Professor Louis A. Waldman, The University of Texas at Austin

“If you ever had any interest in taking a comics class, I recommend THIS ONE. Paul is probably one of the most insightful and all around influential and amazing teachers I’ve ever had…I give this class ten thumbs up, if I only had thumbs for each finger.”

– Heather Benjamin, Cartoonist & Printmaker

“He focuses on helping you find your individual voice as a comics creator rather than driving a bunch of jargon into your brain, and he's a real nice guy on top of that.” 
– Tom Toye, Cartoonist

"Brilliant, funny, and authoritative, Paul Karasik gave energetic, discussion-friendly presentations that engaged both students and faculty." 
- Michael Wenthe, American University

“From Garry Trudeau to Art Spiegelman, I have had the honor of sharing a classroom with the greatest cartoonists of our time. I can honestly say that Paul Karasik is second to none in cartooning knowledge, passion, insight, and connecting with an audience. He lectures are spellbinding. And he's a pretty fantastic cartoonist too!” 
- James Sturm, Cartoonist and co-founder the Center for Cartoon Studies
