GIANT Comic Book: Killingly Cartoons
Co-designed and co-written by 50 families, librarians, AI, and a multidisciplinary team of artists, educators, and writers at The GIANT Room, Killingly Cartoons invites all kids (and adults) to read the spookiest, yummiest, silliest, and craziest comic strips!
We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Connecticut community at the Killingly Public Library. We implemented a Remix Station with Killingly Public Library’s director, Claudette Stockwell.
More than 50 participants joined, dreamed, created, and shared comic strips in two themes, food and monsters. Here, we have “remixed” their creations into one GIANT book of comics. Each comic has its own title page with the story’s title, the author’s name, and the author’s age. Using participants’ ideas, drawings, writings, and input, we created AI-generated avatars of the characters that appear in their story and an AI-generated background image as the setting for their story. There’s even a place for participants to add their official author signature!
We want to thank the librarians and staff from Killingly Public Library for their partnership. Funding for this program was made possible by the Connecticut State Library and Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
