Join us at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum on Saturday, March 15, from 2:00–4:00 PM for Mini-Comics Day—a celebration of DIY cartooning! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, you’re welcome to create with us! Copy paper, pencils, and colored pencils will be supplied. Please feel free to bring along your favorite art supplies. Museum educator, Rebecca Richardson, will be here throughout the afternoon to walk you through the basics and help you navigate the creative process. Already working on a comics project (and not wanting to start something new)? Bring it along and just hang out and draw with us.

Mini-comics have been democratizing the art of making comic books since the 1970s or earlier—with the popularization of photocopiers, it became apparent that anyone with an inclination and some spare change could print a little comic book. Wildly varying in both form and content, mini-comics are a wonderful synthesis of cartooning and hand-made art objects.
