Seth Dolcy is a Barbadian industrial arts teacher who is also a comics enthusiast, comic book collector, blogger and promoter of comics and graphic novels as worthwhile reading material. Additionally, Seth is the founder of the Facebook group ‘Comics Appreciation Team’, popularly known as C.A.T.
C.A.T. has been around for nearly 2 years and has a membership of approximately 230 comic aficionados from Barbados and around the world. C.A.T.’s mission statement is: “Reaching out to the masses to unite similar minds in the further appreciation of comicdom in its totality.” In this vein, C.A.T. promotes an in-depth understanding of comics and interest in reading. Themes, artwork, writers, plot and story-lines which all make comics exciting are discussed in the group forum. Moreover, C.A.T. explores the complexity of fictional characters, considering the diverse ways these characters impact people’s imagination and perhaps even their world view.
In addition to older comic enthusiasts, C.A.T. caters to teenagers through a reading club at the Princess Margaret Secondary School in Barbados called Club R.E.V.A.M.P. The acronym stands for Reading Engineered Via Artwork Meaning and Plot. This club was born of Seth’s concern that in this contemporary society, some children are unable to read, write and/or comprehend simple sentences because they are not interested in reading what is available to them. Club R.E.V.A.M.P uses comics to grab students’ attention, meeting them where they are and cultivating an appreciation for reading, while facilitating the development of comprehension and analytical skills. This venture has met with some success and appears quite promising.
Seth’s personal goal is to remove the stigma attached to comics by underscoring the various gains which can be accrued when comics are perceived as worthwhile reading material.
