Whatcomics, our annual celebration of teens and comics is going strong. Last weekend’s manga drawing workshops at the Bellingham and Ferndale libraries were really great. Those ladies from NDP really know their manga. They are also organizing the Aki Con, an anime and manga convention in Everett, on November 7-9. Check out their website for more info.
You have two more weeks to create (or select) your best comics and/or art to enter into the Whatcomics publication contest. See the entry form for more info. We may even use some of the art for a teen library card. Stay tuned.
