Brian Ralph Illo in The Times

Also of note in recent New York Times coverage of kids' comics: the illustration accompanying Times reader response to the original piece was drawn by cartoonist Brian Ralph.

Ralph, a Fort Thunder alumnus, has drawn a variety of comics for different age groups including the all-ages-friendly wordless graphic novel Cave-In, a series of one-page comics called Reggie 12 for Giant Robot, and various work for Nickelodeon Magazine.
