Monthly comic challenge: 'NEW'

New year! New decade! New challenges! New comics! We thought we'd try a new comic-drawing prompt format. It's pretty straightforward: each month, we'll set a theme at our meeting, then anyone inclined to makes a comic on that theme, then we post them all here. Result: a kind of monthly mini-anthology!

First up, appropriately enough, the theme is 'NEW'...

The New Bird by Steve Flanagan:

What Do You Look For In A New Prime Minister? by K. Ben Clarke:

Next month's theme: 'TIMES'

Mud Goblin vs Beer Demon

A couple of jam comics from the Small Press Day event at Tyne Bank Brewery, prompted by Paul's two comic robots (one drawing the layouts, one randomising word-pairs!)

Gothic Pasties (Lauren Matthews/Sayomi)

A 24-minute comic from Lauren Matthews/Sayomi - the words were gothic and pasties.

Aww. You could almost say it was a ... CURE? (Eh? No? Sorry).

Collaborations with Paul's robot

Paul made a robot out of Lego that draws random page layouts. It's mint. It's been demo'd at a few events, encouraging punters to try their hand at drawing a story to match the structure. It helps  to have good examples, so fortunately we had Gemma and Mike on hand at the Great Exhibition of the North Family Expo to do some outstanding collaborations with the robot showing the visitors how it should be done.


Mike does a comic about Paul and the robot...

Classic use of layout from Gemma...

Mike takes on the challenge of a page that has been overwritten multiple times by the robot (and it still makes some kinda sense)

Bag For Life (Paul Thompson)

Was it a 24-minute comic? Or just a comic inspired by true events? Anyway, here's a good one from Paul:

Misc jams

Here's a few gems found amid the Big Pile Of Stupid Jam Comics That Has Built Up Over The Year. Done by... some paperjammers, some random folks who we've encouraged to make comics, I think.
