SCAMP Comics Festival 2026 Workshop: SQUISHBOOK AT COCKATOO COMICS

Purchase a copy of the incredible SQUISHBOOK and learn from the masters in this great workshop run by Squishface Head Honcho David Blumenstein!

Join members of Melbourne's Squishface Comic Studio for a family friendly comics workshop in celebration of Squishbook! This new comics anthology by 13 local artists and writers is a very silly, but truthful, guide to how and why children should make their own comics and stories. At this event we'll try some activities from the book and kids will do just that! Suitable for ages 8 and up. We ask that parents stay with their children for the event. Materials provided.
