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, a CalArts animation grad, is a character and prop designer for Nickelodeon. She was a storyboard artist for the upcoming Garfield movie and the Apple TV+ series The Snoopy Show. Vicki has also worked in licensing and publishing, drawing Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, Garfield, and Peanuts characters as seen on products ranging from apparel to giftware to parade floats to mud flaps. While she worked for the Schulz family, she wrote several graphic novels and short stories for the recent run of Boom comic books, currently being reprinted by Simon & Schuster.
