Cost: Included with Museum admission. Free for Members!
Meet, watch, and talk to Bob Scott and Vicki Scott to celebrate their forthcoming graphic novel Molly and the Bear: Campers Beware (August 2025). This lighthearted middle-grade graphic novel follows an eleven-year-old girl and her best friend: an 800-pound scaredy-bear! Based on the syndicated webcomic by Bob Scott, Bear with Me, it is the second in the Molly and the Bear series, following the Scotts’ debut book, Molly and the Bear: An Unlikely Pair.
ABOUT BOB SCOTT
Bob Scott is a cartoonist and animator. Born in Detroit, he began drawing at a young age by copying what he saw in the funny pages. After graduating from California Institute of the Arts, Scott entered the world of character animation and has worked for over thirty-five years as an animator, character designer, storyboard artist, and voice talent for Warner Brothers, DreamWorks, Pixar, and more. Scott has always wanted a comic strip of his own, so Bear with Me (a.k.a. Molly and the Bear) was born and became a syndicated webcomic in 2010. Bob Scott and his wife, Vicki Scott, turned this webcomic into their middle-grade debut, An Unlikely Pair.
ABOUT VICKI SCOTT
Vicki Scott got her BFA from CalArts, and, upon graduation, married Bob Scott and moved several thousand miles away to Indiana. There, Scott flourished as a staff artist for Jim Davis, drawing Garfield during his heyday of the late 1980s. Scott later returned to Los Angeles, where she worked at Hannah Barbera on shows starring baby versions of their classic characters. Sensing a trend, she joined Warner Brothers to work on the merchandise side of Spielberg’s Tiny Toons. She found her way to a second Spielberg production, heading the models department for Family Dog, the series. Scott then worked as a staff artist for Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates. In addition, she storyboarded on The Snoopy Show and The Garfield Movie (2024). Currently, Scott spends her days co-writing Molly and the Bear books with Bob Scott.
