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.

Another drawing game attempted at a Drink and Draw session at friends’ place. Introduced to me under the title “Ching Chong Bing Bong,” feel free to call it what you want as some think this title appears suggestively racist.
Everybody starts by writing a phrase on the top sheet of a stack of paper and then passing the entire stack including the phrase to the person on their right. Everyone reads the received phrase and puts that sheet on the bottom of the stack. On the blank sheet in from to you draw a picture responding to the phrase. Pass right and write a phrase responding to the picture. Pass right and repeat. Hardest part of this game is giving a group of people directions. Read the following left to right top to bottom.
