MADISON, Wis. — Mike Baron found his writing talent as a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and more than 25 years later, his alma mater still inspires stories for his original comic.
As described in the Summer 2008 edition of Badger Insider™ Magazine, themes from the UW campus and Wisconsin culture continue to influence Badger, one of the successful comic series that Baron creates from his home base in Colorado. Baron graduated from UW-Madison in 1971.
Badger Insider is an exclusive publication for members of the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA). The Summer 2008 issue of Badger Insider Magazine also includes:
- All Gardens Great and Small: Learn about the people and plans behind UW’s Allen Centennial Gardens and other areas in bloom;
- The Sweet Spot: Alumni remember their favorite UW places for rest and relaxation;
- Badgering: Meet David Tucker, owner of London Walks, the world’s oldest urban walking tour company. Tucker earned his UW bachelor’s degree in 1969, followed by a master’s degree in 1972.
WAA members can also preview the 2008 Homecoming theme with special additions to “Flat Bucky’s Wardrobe,” as well as new photos from the pocket-size mascot’s worldwide travels.
