If there's one thing better than the great chocolate-peanut butter combo, it's museums and comics. If you know both, there's a place for you at Ohio State University.

The Ohio State University Libraries are looking for an Assistant Curator at their Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. This is a position that's on the tenure track, so once in, you could be set until retirement.

How cool is that job? "The Cartoon Library & Museum's primary mission is to develop a comprehensive research collection of materials documenting American printed cartoon art (editorial cartoons, comic strips, comic books, graphic novels, sports cartoons, and magazine cartoons) and to provide access to these collections."

Pretty cool.

How big is their collection? "It is the largest and most comprehensive academic research facility of its kind in the United States. Current holdings include more than 450,000 original cartoons; 36,000 books; 51,000 serial titles; and 3,000 linear feet of manuscript materials.

Pretty darned big.

Lots of nifty qualifications are necessary to snag this, and in addition to the usual academic smarts you'll need "knowledge through course work and/or relevant scholarly activity & experience of the history of graphic arts, especially printed cartoon art."

Also, you'll have to be able to "left 40 pounds." Perhaps because older cartoonists used to draw on much heavier stock.

Good luck, job seekers! Don't forget to Dewey your decimals!
