The University of Tennessee Libraries has acquired the papers of\ncritically acclaimed cartoonist and distinguished UT alum (Knoxville \u201985) Paige\nBraddock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the artwork now in the Betsey B. Creekmore Special Collections and University Archives pertains to Braddock\u2019s award-nominated comic strip, Jane\u2019s World<\/em>. The comic strip, which featured a young gay woman living in a trailer with her roommate, pushed the boundaries of comic-book storylines when it appeared on the web in 1998. In 2001, Jane\u2019s World<\/em> became the first gay-themed comic to receive online distribution by a national media syndicate in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006, Braddock was nominated for an Eisner Award, the highest honor in the comic industry, for best writer\/artist in the humor category. In 2019, Love Letters to Jane\u2019s World<\/em>, Braddock\u2019s anthology of Jane\u2019s World<\/em> stories and love letters from fans, was selected as a Lambda Literary finalist for best LGBTQ graphic novel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braddock is also the creator of a\nline of graphic novels for children, the Stinky\nCecil<\/em> series, and co-creator (with Jason McNamara) of the science fiction\ngraphic novel series The Martian\nConfederacy<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braddock is currently chief creative officer at Charles M. Schulz\nCreative Associates, the organization that oversees the art and editorial\ncontent for all licensed Peanuts<\/em>\nproducts worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braddock graduated from the University of Tennessee\nin 1985 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration and graphic design. During\nher time at UT, she produced a comic strip for the student-run newspaper, the Daily Beacon<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Braddock returned to UT to accept an\nAccomplished Alumni Award in recognition of her success and distinction in her\nfield. The\ncartoonist also has established a scholarship at her alma mater. The Paige\nBraddock Graduate Award supports graduate students in UT\u2019s School of Art,\ngiving special consideration to women artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Betsey B. Creekmore Special Collections and University\nArchives now holds an ample collection of black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings,\ncover art, watercolors, print proofs, and thousands of original pen-and-pencil\npanel drawings, covering Braddock\u2019s work from the early days of her career\nthrough 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
