Question for all these lovely people: did anyone from Cartooning the Medieval start a discord or group chat? There were so many great convos that I wish could have kept going and silly niche memes I’d like to share🌷

I just had the absolute pleasure of attending and participating in Cartooning the Medieval! It was such an inspiring experience and I got to meet so many fellow “weird little guys”
HUGE thank you:
