In this workshop we will play with matching—and mismatching—text and image. There are many reasons comics artists create a disparity between the two: for comedic effect, to imbue a scene with feeling, to muddle time and place. We will look at effective examples of this in contemporary comics and create a mismatched comic of our own.
