(Rachel works at the library, so it all made sense.) They helped out with our event, which had a good turnout and was a lot of fun. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1212490_original-bb75d366f0.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nThanks to everyone who came along and drew comics with us! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1213047_original-fcf915ee23.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Click here for more under the cut!-->\\r\nPhilip's drawings on this flipchart comic made me laugh: \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1212769_original-4d4a0efc13.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nHuge thanks to \u003Cb>Beth Heaney and Bethan Gregory\u003C/b> for all their hard work organising our event and the festival!
