Kids who attended our Laugh Out Loud program got to draw their own comic books with characters like Crazy Silly Fred and Fluffly Pillow and display them in an art gallery.  There was funny trivia; everyone had their picture taken as Captain Underpants, and ate food prepared by our very own lunch ladies!

Cartoon 360: Secrets to Drawing Cartoon People and Poses in 3-D by Harry Hamernik
