This is an excellent chance to watch and work with one of New Zealand’s best cartoonists and a great opportunity to work on those latent comic abilities and fuel your appetite for comic related talk and impressive illustration!

It’s free and it’s at the Central library on Friday the 2nd of May – good on ya ComicFest!
