MAKE: Blog: Comic Jam @ Maker Faire

Comic Jam @ Maker Faire

Make 642
Doc writes -

This last weekend was the Maker Faire in San Mateo, and the San Francisco Cartoonist Conspiracy was there running a jam comic.

Our table, which was located in the big expo room (close to Yahoo!'s booth), was filled with pencils, pens, and paper. Cartoonist Conspiracy members answered questions from some of the Faire's 40,000 attendees and tried to encourage as many of them as possible to create a panel for the Maker Jam Comic. Jeff Plotkin and I started at 10 am on Saturday morning with 10 blank pages, and by 5pm on the following Sunday we had 9 and a half finished pages (not to mention the cover and autograph page).
