In the decade before the internet, people made comics, and reached out to each other. They shared, they liked and loved. They connected through the mail, and through meet-ups and festivals.

These audio/video archives will exist at the University of Florida’s Digital Repository as well as the Sequential Artists Workshop’s Youtube channel and podcast links.
