Local cartoonist Kane Lynch held a comic book drawing workshop at the Paso Robles City Library over Spring Break. Lynch’s recent work, "Reel Life," is a middle-grade comic book published by Scholastic Graphix (yes, THE Scholastic).

Lynch did a reading from "Reel Life," shared about his work as a cartoonist and guided kids in attendance through the creation of their own comic book.

👀Keep your eyes peeled for more of Lynch's work to appear at Paso Robles City Library. We're partnering with him on some fun projects in the upcoming months.
