Got Bacon?

As a follow up to my entry on our Got Ink? comic workshop for teens, the office is abuzz today as copies float around of a little booklet the class made with individually-stylized comics exclusively about bacon.

Entitled "An Epic Bacon Comics Collection," it includes a comic about bacon being our saving grace when aliens come to earth, one about how Bacon Bits are made, a story of how the Breakfast Avengers (including Super Egg n' Toast Girl, Bacon, Fakin' Bacon, and a Banana) were born, and a compelling advertisement for Baconnaise, the Ultimate Bacon Flavored Spread. You can read the whole thing here: Panel Discussion: The Bacon Strips.

The man responsible for our bacon craze? Andrew Wales, who we have been fortunate to have teaching the comics class for the last two days. For the next three we'll have Tim Callahan, a graphic novelist and editor who authored "Grant Morrison: the Early Years" and edited "Teenagers from the Future." The class is still open on a pay-per-day basis to any and all for the rest of the week!
