It’s very affordable and incredibly powerful!

OnLine Library -Make sure to visit your local library at: http://www.geauga.lib.oh.us to find books on cartooning.

Digital Tablet Resources! If you’re looking for a digital tablet and don’t want to spend much, then check out the tablet I use sold via Serif. It’s an Aiptek Tablet and you can find more Aiptek tablet models at www.Aiptek.com. The big tablet maker on the the block is Wacom. While quite good, expect to pay $100.00 or more for their tablets.
