This panel discussion dives into the grassroots core of comics activity.
Since 2010, Keski-Suomen Sarjakuvaseura KESS (Central Finland Comics Society KESS) has been showcasing its activities, from weekly meetings and 24-hour comics marathons to its most extensive anthology to date, Yhdessä (Together, 2025). Also involved is Pokuto (Northern Publishing Association), which shares knowledge and supports self-publishing, releasing, and distributing comics.
