Dr. Dig
Dr. Dig Comic strips for DIG INTO HISTORY® Magazine.
Age Range: 9 — 14 years
For many years I wss the writer and Illustrator of this monthly comic strip featuring the archaeologist Dr. Dig and his critter pals developed by Carus Publishing for Dig Magazine. Each month the magazine focuses on one particular topic, and presents it in a way that is appropriate for Middle School-aged kids.
Tombs, mummies, dinosaurs - budding archaeologists ages 9 to 14 are off to new adventures at archaeological sites around the world, where they look over the shoulders of professional archaeologists working in the field to unearth important finds. But not all archaeology takes place at a dig site - DIG also brings readers right into working laboratories and museums to learn about cutting-edge conservation techniques. Interviews with onsite archaeologists give children a well-rounded view what archaeology is really all about.
