Gary Lister — featured creator

Posted on November 9, 2009

morganna

When he’s not busy being a graphic designer/illustrator, Gary Lister is churning out the panels for his Web comic Morganna of the Borgs. We got a chance to interview Gary to find out what it’s been like starting a new Web comic.

What are you working on now comics-wise?

I am working on my own webcomic — Morganna of the Borgs Its a story of a young woman who finds herself suddenly and very unexpectedly the only person capable of saving Earth from an alien invasion.

How’s your comic output been the last year? What’s helped or hindered your output?

Being the first year, its still kind of in development — trying to get a stable schedule going. I’ve had a couple of format changes from single panel black & white posts to full page, full color posts. I’m in need of a new computer/design setup so this past month MOTB has been on hold while I knock out some pay illustration work. MOTB will be back on track the first week of November as I make the transition from pencil/ink/scan to 100% digitally created comics. Read the rest of this entry »

Comic jams

During each Midmococo meeting, we create create what is known as a comic jam. One person begins by drawing a single comic panel and passing the page onto someone else, who draws the next panel. There is no planning involved and we never know how it's going to tun out until we reach the end of the page. Check out our last few jams.

24 Hour Comics Day comics

Cartoonists all over the globe take the 24 Hour Comics Day challenge of trying to create a 24 page comic story in 24 straight hours. Midmococo participates each year as a group. Below are some links to a few of the comics created at the event

24 Hour Comics Day 2008

24 Hour Comics Day 2008 was a huge success. It was hosted by the Columbia Art League in their excellent classroom space. We had a record turnout of 16 participants and most stayed the entire 24 hours. You can see photos, video and press coverage on our follow-up post.

Thanks to our sponsors!

24 Hour Comics Day 2007

This year, our 24 Hour Comics Day event was held at Quinlan Keep in Columbia, Mo. We had a great turnout and even though it was homecoming weekend, we got some pretty good media coverage and pictures. A few of the finished books have been scanned and put online for your viewing pleasure.
