Just under 20 school children were on hand at Junee library and, armed with pencil and paper, learnt how to put their imaginiation to paper using basic shapes.

Mr Hore, a self-taught cartoonist who worked in newspapers, MAD Magazine and on many books, helped children add a little personality to their drawings.

“They’re all aspiring cartoonists ... they have no fear and can let their imagination run wild,” he said.

The light-hearted nature of creating cartoon characters

meant both the students and teacher had a lot of fun with the workshop.

“This is my first time in Junee, I’d love to come back,” Mr Hore said.
