Ryan North, Toronto-based creator of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics, is profiled in the student paper of McGill University.

Includes details about his use of comics in academia:

"Yeah, I didn’t do it very delicately, though. My thesis [in computational linguistics] was about a form of language called “light verb construction” where T-Rex…compresses my two-year, 100-page document into six panels! It was fun to compress it that much and still get the main point across. But also disheartening because, you know, that was two years.

Still, I find it kind of masturbatory, because, who’s going to write a thesis and not put it into comic form?"
