Cartoonist Koterba

Jeff Koterba, the editorial cartoonist for the Omaha World-Herald, has a new memoir coming out. While Koterba may be known for his illustrations, many don't know of his struggle with Tourette's. What I find particularly interesting is how he talks about his life with Tourette's and how he firmly believes his creativity is linked to the syndrome. I know I and many others have seen the TLC shows on children with Tourette's, but this glimpse at Koterba provides a different perspective. This serves as another great reminder of the range of "looks" of Tourette's, and any syndrome for that matter. How cool for him to share his story. It sounds like an interesting read!
