2026 LION'S TOOTH COMICS SCHOOL FALL SESSIONS!!
Summer may be over but fun sure isn't! We are so pleased to introduce the first Fall program of the Lion's Tooth Comics School. Participating kids and teens (ages 8 to 17) will meet at Lion's Tooth on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 6:30PM for a month, with sessions in October and November.
During these meetings students will create a comic story from beginning to end, from writing, to thumbnails, to pencils and inking. The work from each session will then be collected into an anthology zine that will be available to the public at Lion's Tooth.
Both sessions will have a comics release + graduation + holiday party on Sunday December 13 2026 at 2PM.
Kids who participated in Lion's Tooth summer sessions are welcome to come back and make comics with us again!
