The life and work of various Ursuline Sisters of Louisville provided inspiration for comic strips created by Sacred Heart Academy art students in celebration of Catholic Sisters Week, March 8-14.
The students showed their work in late February at the Ursuline Motherhouse on Lexington Road.
Ursuline Sister Jean Anne Zappa, the congregation’s president, said in a press release, “I was amazed at how the art students captured not only the life of their particular sister, but the spirit of that sister’s personality and gifts.
“By their research and study of the sisters’ lives, they were able to communicate the nuances of each sister’s life, talents and contributions they shared with others,” Zappa said.
The Reord, serving the Catholic Community of Central Kentucky, has the story of student cartoonists.

The New York City subway now has its very own unofficial publication — and the only way to get your hands on one is by riding the rails until you find a copy.
Public Transport Magazine is a free publication featuring stories and cartoons from such notable names as “The Simpsons” writer Steve Young and New Yorker cartoonist Edward Steed, and randomly distributed within the subway system by creator Al Mullen.
Its fourth issue landed in stations this week.
Each edition has a theme, and the latest is devoted to filth in all its forms.
It includes a missed-connections missive by Vanity Fairauthor Mike Sacks, “Highlights From My Own Filthy Hall of Shame” by renowned cartoonist Emily Flake and a cover illustration from Steed, who also created the cover for Father John Misty’s Grammy-award-winning 2017 album “Pure Comedy.”
The New York Post reports on a new underground magazine with cartoonist contributions.
And he was Dear Leader’s chief of staff; what a busy guy. Or maybe just mining the job for material.
Not that Kelly. This one headed the Pittsburgh Comic Art Museum, and is a nice guy, dapper dresser, and excellent historian.
