Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an experienced writer or artist?

No! Anyone can make a comic! In fact, less experience may be in your favour as it will mean you're open to exploring new ideas

What do I need to bring?

All materials are provided, but if you have a favourite pen, sketchbook or inkwell, you're welcome to bring them along (they won't need a ticket).

Is there parking?

Okay, this one has never been asked, but I'm throwing it in just in case. Yes, ample street parking on Barker or Templeton streets.

What about snacks?

Tea, coffee and water available in abundance. Light snacks will be provided. Will it be iced vo-vos? tim tams? pocky? carrot sticks? I cannot reveal at this stage. It will depend on the mood.
