This is a great cartoon, Dan. There was a program on NPR today on this very problem. You should submit this for publication somewhere.

A map of White River Junction for @cartoonstudies . I was surprised how much I came to love WRJ after moving here two years ago. I was happy to have an opportunity to channel my fascination with the town’s architecture and geography into this illustration. Swipe for the physical map and process. ✏️🗺 #whiteriverjunction #map #illustration #cartoon #vermont

If you’ve lost track of where we’re at with Net Neutrality, here’s a 3 panel stat piece i have up on @the_nib today. . . . . #netneutrality #comics #comic #infographic

Just finished putting together a collection of comics and art for my thesis at @cartoonstudies . I made this foldy packaging to contain the 10 pieces of various lengths (1-60 pages) and genres on the theme of hidden systems. . . . #comics #bookmaking #cartoonstudies #illustration #drawing

The story of the secret Internet building in White River Junction: It started off as a 2 story telegraph office with high windows and ceilings in the 1920s. In the 60’s, a massive, 4 story windowless brick structure with thick walls was added to house giant telephone switches, and protect them against cold war fears of nuclear war. After the cold war ended, windows were added to make it more habitable. A few people have told me its mostly empty now, that whatever digital equipment is left hardly takes up any space. Over the past few years, this building and part of the network has changed hands 3 times - from Verizon to Fairpoint and just recently to Consolidated Communications, based in Illinois. Fiber optic cables carrying data run through the town along the railroad tracks, likely on the same paths that the telegraph cables used 100 years ago. The CCS senior studios now occupy the old telegraph office portion of the building, where I worked on my comic about history and geography of the internet for the last few months. Drawn straight to ink on the first perfect day of spring :) #sketchbook #whiteriverjunction

Just printed some tarot cards I made as a drawing exercise back in the fall. Colored with cyan, magenta, and yellow screen tone. #tarot #illustration

Pencil draft of comic about the real life physical internet on real life physical paper. Lots of history and maps in this one 🌏
