Directions: Draw an image, and underneath it write what that image is. Pass this object to the next person and they will contradict you, writing what the object really is. Add small details if you like, to support your interpretation further, and pass on the paper on until each player has had their say.

Surrealist Comic Game Directions: A “moderator” chooses a few pages of a comic, and numbers each text box. Sheets are then made for all of the players, alternating the numbers on each sheet so that one single person does not have multiple boxes in a row. The moderator notes whether the text box will be a line of dialogue or a narrator statement, but no other hints will be given as to the subject of the comic. The players write text for each number on their sheet. Afterwards, line up the numbered statements with their respective boxes, and replace the comic’s original text with your own.
