On MLK Day, our workshop took the opportunity to talk about some of the great historical comics out there! Only two attendees, but we learned one of them has a Nat Turner-meets-Harriet Tubman fiction in her head waiting to get out. Bryan talked about his ideas for a comic strip sequel to Amadeus about Mozart’s genius sister, Nannerl, getting revenge on Salieri (and he spent some of the hour working on character studies for this project) and then our teenage participant revealed he’d been secretly working all hour on a swell MLK portrait!!!! After acting like he wasn’t going to participate at all!!! Really made the night! Next week we’ll get into Caricature! 5pm Monday at Half Price Books on Anderson Mill, Austin, Texas!
