Mini-Comics Day at Dragon’s Lair this Saturday

Filed under: Events — Tags: , — William Cardini @ 7:08 am

Hey y’all, this Saturday, April 9th, is Mini-Comics Day! It’s like 24-Hour Comic Book Day, but less grueling, because you only have to commit to finish a minicomic, with no size or length restrictions.

Are the cartoonists participating in mini-comics day the mouse, the mousetrap, or the cheese?

Here in Austin, Dragon’s Lair (6111 Burnet Rd) is hosting a Mini-Comics Day event from 10am to midnight. Come by, I’ll be there drawing – and, if you’re allergic to cats like I am, be sure to take some loratadine before you walk in the door, cuz they have a couple feline residents. I hope to see some of y’all there.

Although technically you’re supposed to write and draw the whole thing in one day, I’ve already started sketching and brainstorming. Here are my sketches:

Here’s a preliminary sketch of The Two Heads of Murg Kraw. Sensitive plot planning notes have been redacted.

I feel like pirate yeti is pretty self explanatory, but to be specific, this is a SPACE pirate yeti (or pirate space yeti? yeti pirate space?). I switched pencils in the middle, so some lines are way thicker than other.
