This paper presents a further exploration of a mixed initiative comic-making method that combines hand-drawn imagery with AI-generated visuals in a turn-taking, interactive manner. Initially developed within a personal artistic practice, the method was later tested in broader settings to understand how it might function as a public, co-creative method. As a first step, a pre-study was conducted at a public AI art exhibition, where casual participants were invited to engage with the method by producing short visual narratives. Based on insights from this initial engagement, a structured workshop was carried out where participants created comics with the same method by alternating between analogue sketching and AI-assisted generation using a publicly available image generation tool appropriated for the task by the authors. Participants provided written reflections on their experience. The resulting comics and responses were collected and clustered to explore emerging patterns in narrative form and participant perception. This paper documents both phases – the pre-study and the workshop – and outlines the steps of the method and presents the comics created with it. Drawing from participant reflections, the paper highlights themes that arose in relation to the process. In particular, we examine how the authors’ method operates outside their studios in situated contexts and in relation to casual creative practices.
