Like I could have graduated in four years, but I stayed on longer, two more years, so I could continue being the cartoonist there.
He recalled, "As a kid, I would read the comics in the newspaper every single day. At the same time, he started doing illustrations for Western Kentucky University"s student newspaper, the College Heights Herald, and he continued to draw editorial cartoons for both papers while staying in college for the next six years:
I actually stayed on at the University for longer. I was in college for like seven years.
lieutenant was kind of like it is now.
There"s no jobs. I said, hey, I was getting paid as the editorial cartoonist at the paper, so I"m like, this is kind of my job. I just took the bare minimum classes that I had to each semester, so I could work at the paper.
On March 26, 2012, he became the inker of the daily Cul de Sac comic strip. The first Sunday strip inked by Curtis was published June 17, 2012.
