Input

Collect any miscellaneous scrap paper around your house or neighborhood—grocery circulars, wrapping paper, free newspapers, parking tickets, laundry tickets, really long receipts.

If more easily at your disposal, gather picture books from the sidewalk or cheap $1 racks. Be sure that you feel willing to cut these up and take them apart.

Action

Sift through your collection for a pair of phrases. Maybe they make you laugh or recall a distant memory.

Center a 4-8 panel comic around your selected phrases.

Use other elements in your collection as tracing surfaces or materials for collage.

Output

A poster or 8-page zine, when scored, folded, and slit down the middle.
