What academic skills does a cartoonist need?

[Edit]

Answer

None, really. If you can draw well and people find your work entertaining, why bust your butt getting a degree? If you want to do cartooning as a career, it helps to make some connections with publishers, magazines, etc. An agent can help you do that.
