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.
