Create a Single-Panel Cartoon

Cartooning in a Nutshell

Create wordless and captioned single‑panel cartoons as you brainstorm humorous ideas, combine drawing and writing to deliver the joke, and explore examples from professional cartoonists.

Explore various ways to generate ideas for a humorous one-panel cartoon as you create wordless cartoons and cartoons with captions.  Learn to combine your drawing and writing skills to communicate a funny situation to an audience.  We will look at various professional cartoonists’ work for inspiration. 

All supplies will be provided.

This program is supported in part by funding from the Montgomery County Government and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
