Jackrabbits Can Talk
Back in town, comic strip artist Chris Ruggia opens his small studio with pleasure. “Jack,” his cartoon ode to the ecology
of the vast Big Bend wilderness, stars kangaroo rats, jackrabbits, and coyotes. “It’s such an emphatic region,” the quiet
man says. “As an artist, you really respond to it.” Guided by biologists from The Nature Conservancy and Sul Ross, interpreters
from Big Bend National Park, and his own wandering eye, Chris’s more than 40 “Jack” online episodes bring art and the landscape
side-by-side.
