Such a class doesn't exist at NCSU.

you could probably take one of his ideation or basic drawing courses and do a comic focus/independent study kind of thing

i think he meant doodling in class gives you practice

Two Books you should check out are "Making Comics Work" and "Understanding Comics". Fitzgerald is a professor over at the College of Design and he has his students read these books in all his classes. Good Luck!
