Comic Making Tournament 3: Hybrid, Original, Non-linear

Hybrid, Original, and Non-linear are all recurring events from the second tournament. I used to call Original "short form original," but since it's the only event with blank templates I stopped using the distinction. Hybrid had students make 3 comics, original 5, and non-linear 3. I expanded non-linear this year by request and shrank hybrid.

Like short form pre-drawn, hybrid and original used themes.

Hybrid themes:

1. "It's over 9000!"
2. "One man's magic is another's engineering."
3. "I'm never going to let you down."

Of the three, only Hybrid uses templates with art on them.

Comics used:

And Shine Heaven Now
Cool Cat Studio
Demonology 101
Dinosaur Comics
Fans
Ghastly's Ghastly Comic
Narbonic
Okashina Okashi
Punks and Nerds
Rob and Elliot
Shortpacked
Sluggy Freelance
Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki

Original themes:

1. Meeting a historical figure
2. Being the wizard who did it
3. Unintended consequences
4. Living within your means
5. Leading a revolution against tyranny

Non-linear didn't have themes. Instead, I let the kids decide what to write about.
