How to cite a cartoon sounds interesting. I'm guessing it would be the same as a poem or short story? What did you come up with?

Actually they wanted to just cite the image. They were using it in a presentation. So I had them cite like they would cite it in a paper, as a figure. APA is soooo much fun. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I see.
ReplyDeleteWe looked up how to cite a comic strip cartoon and couldn't find APA guidelines, but MLA has them. In MLA, a comic is cited the similarly to a magazine article. Yeah, I'm a little weird; I like citations and find the variances between styles intriguing.
