The two hour program is broken up into four 20-minute silent work periods starting at 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, and 5:30pm, with 10-minute breaks in between to stand up, stretch, grab water, and to socialize.
- Feedback Space: A chance to seek feedback on work in small groups of 3-4 cartoonists. No regular schedule.
- Cartoonist Coffee: A Zoom meeting twice monthly on Sundays for randomly paired chats with small groups of other artists.
- Nuts & Bolts: Recorded talks by professional comics artists and writers, giving advice on various practical facets of comic creation.
