This past Saturday, my friend Kim Ku and I got together to make some tic-tac-toe comics. We were inspired by Matt Madden and Tom Hart's experimental comics jam and decided to give it a try.

The rules are simple: One cartoonist is X and the other is O. Since we played two games, we each got a turn being X and O. You play tic tac toe by incorporating an X or O in the panel somehow. The game ends once all the panels are drawn in (neither of us won, so we added the extra rule of incorporating an ox in the last panel we drew to signify a draw). We made it more difficult on ourselves by staying within a theme: mine was science fiction and Kim's was "creepy". Kim wrote a more thorough post on her blog showing some progress shots, if you are so inclined.



You can see both our comics here!
