Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art (JKSCGA) Introduction and Academics

Introduction

The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, which was originally founded in 1976 by Joe Kubert and his wife Muriel Kubert, has ever since been the only post-secondary institution to focus entirely and exclusively on the cartoon trade and industry. This makes it a true magnet for talented artists looking to enter this colorful and peculiar world. This school is considered a three-year technical college and happens to be located in the urban community of Dover, New Jersey (which lies some 45 minutes from New York City by car). With Joe Kubert having been a prominent and influential figure of the American and international cartoon industry, this school has a very solid reputation in the specific field of interest and the wider artistic community.
