What did you major in at college? What major do you recommend for people who want to be comic book writers? (Sorry if you've answered this before)

I started on a fine arts track and migrated into film and then multimedia/new media/animation-y stuff. i think (see above) if you want to be a comic book writer you should start by reading everything you can and by building an idiom and a craft. get a cheap notebook and hit a library and google around and start chipping away, little by little, at learning YOUR way.
