For those imaginative types who would like to explore the world of comics, this is a five-week class in telling a story with both words and pictures. Each week we'll do specific exercises to get you started. We'll develop characters, try putting them into settings, and into relationships with other characters and see what happens. You can work with characters and stories you already have or start with a blank page. Artists and writers welcome. Bring a pencil, sketchbook, and sense of humor.
