Bugs & Kisses is our third annual comics jam, where a team of over 30 artists are invited to collaborate in a game of improvisational storytelling, each artist drawing one page, then passing it onto the next in the chain to continue the narrative. Our team this time round includes cartoonists from Austria, England, Germany, Latvia, Russia, Italy, USA, India, Netherlands, Hungary, Czechia and Sweden; and tells a story including a spider Queen, an obsessive artist, a micro-penised bodybuilder, and magical moths.
