Comics with Friends and Strangers (Papercuts Comics Festival 2021 day 5)

Calling South Australian comic creators of all skill levels! You're invited to the September meeting of Comics with Friends and Strangers as part of Papercuts Comics Festival! Get together with like-minded folk and draw comics, swap tips and share reading recommendations.

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, capacity at the venue is limited and RSVPs are essential. Entry is free but you MUST have a booking to attend! (We do also accept optional gold coin donations to help cover costs.)

This month's optional activity is a fun one: Jam Comics. If you haven't taken part before, we'll explain how it works on the night, but the basic idea is collaborative improvised comics created by multiple people working on the same page! (As always, you're also welcome to come and work on your own project instead if you'd prefer.)

Above: An example of a jam comic created at Papercuts 2019. (Top tier by Lindy, middle tier by Mitch, bottom tier by Gina.)

We'd love to see your faces there. So pack your own art supplies and get your radical selves down to the Regent Room at The Box Factory community centre on 59 Regent Street South, Adelaide, at 6:30 pm.

Power sockets are available for those who work digitally. The Regent Room is upstairs but is wheelchair accessible via an elevator. The front door to the community centre is usually locked; if it is, access is via the side stairs through the gate to the right of the building. (If you need wheelchair access, contact us via Facebook or by replying to the confirmation email you receive after registering.)

Comics with Friends and Strangers is aimed at a maturer audience and may contain coarse language.

Stay excellent!
