OLD WISDOM RE-IMAGINED PROVERBIAL CARTOONS FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Proverbs are frequently used in the media as a way to attract attention or to impart wisdom. As an attempt to bring new life into proverbial teachings, a weekly cartoon entitled “Proverb Place” was created in 2011 for the University of Vermont student newspaper, The Water Tower. Using a mix of proverbs and anti-proverbs, the cartoons aimed to re-introduce, or perhaps introduce, university students to important proverbial wisdom in a culturally relevant medium.
