Nunzio DeFilippis, with whom I have a long and storied friendship, added to his already substantial skill-set last year by branching into teaching, specifically as the instructor for a course on writing comics available through the UCLA Extension. He invited me down as a guest speaker - one of the many guest speakers he had, actually - and it scratched my instructor itch quite nicely.

The course is being offered again, and I'd link provide a direct link to it if I could, but for some reason the web page for the extension school doesn't actually seem to allow such linkage. Those curious, interested, or otherwise intrigued, can read the full course description ( below the cut. )

Actual enrollment, etc, is available at the UCLA Extension site. If you do a quick-search for "DeFilippis" you'll get a link to the course.

As of this time, I'm scheduled as the guest speaker on the 7th of February, and my understanding is that Oni Press EiC James Lucas Jones will be the guest speaker the week before, on the 31st of January.
