In this hands-on session, we’ll turn favourite jokes and spooky stories into three-panel comics. Think cheeky ghosts, mischievous monsters and pumpkins with punchlines, with more giggles than goosebumps!
From designing creepy characters and laying out panels to making the punchline land, young artists will unleash their creativity while developing their drawing and writing skills. Let’s conjure up some comic-book mischief and bring laughter to life on the page!
For fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey.
Requirements: Bring your favourite joke or story, spooky or silly, or choose one on the day. We’ll work our magic and turn it into a comic!
