Comic Making Tournament II: Templates 2

Since my last post about templates, here are comics that I've managed to go through the archives of:

Demonology 101
Ice
Zombies Calling

This leaves Nothing Nice to Say and Phineus, which I don't think I'll be able to get through before the tournament. New templates have been made:

Chaos Punks
Demonology 101
Freshman 15
Ice
Punks and Nerds
Stubble
World of Orenda
Zombies Calling

Rip & Teri and Cool Cat Studios remain unused. I'm going to try to make a few before the tournament, but time is growing short. I finished getting the CCP cards printed and cut. 360 total - all of them based on Okashina Okashi - are ready for use.

I've also created 30 new templates called "Hybrids:" they're comic templates with blank panels inserted. Hybrid comics strike a balance between the comic templates and blank templates: they allow more creative freedom, as kids can use their own art to bridge panels and provide conclusions, while taking less time, because the student isn't drawing everything from scratch. Comics being used as hybrids:

Dinosaur Comics
Fans!
Freshman 15
Ghastly's Ghastly Comic
Krakow
No Rest For The Wicked
Okashina Okashi
Punks and Nerds
Rob and Elliot
Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki
Shortpacked
Sluggy Freelance

More will likely be added soon, as hybrid comics are easy to make. Another nice feature is that they provide a way to recycle old templates that are otherwise retired.
