We hope everyone is doing ok out there and that you have plenty of comics to keep you company at home during this difficult time. As a final art deliverable for their writing residency, Jey Pawlik has created a wonderful comic to guide you through the ins and outs of webcomics. We have made it available as a free pdf you can download on our website, and it will eventually be available in zine format at our library. This is a great Scott McCloud-style narrative for those looking for comics-related reading material, how-to guides, or an introduction to webcomics! This comic was adapted from Jey’s artist talk and workshop at the library in February. You can download the full pdf over here: InsAndOutsofWebcomicsPDF You can support Jey’s work and other fantastic projects over here: patreon.com/jpawlik/ ko-fi.com/topazcomics A few sample pages from the zine!:This residency program was produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council.
