office of surrealist investigations

I first saw this idea as an Art Spiegelman project involving multiple cartoonists and a stick man, this game followed a chain of 3 panel comics passed artist to artist. Each artist was sent the previous artist’s panels and had to continue the story while retaining the stick man throughout the narrative.

For this version, I allowed the artist to view only the final panel from the previous artist. I wanted a more open format, so each artist could design their own panel configuration and they could do what they please as far as content. I felt this followed closer to the idea of the surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse.
