Professional cartoonist Tigran Mangasarian led a group of 13 students in a specialized comic book workshop at Tumo. The participants combined original drawings with narrative text to produce a collection of illustrated stories centered on the city of Yerevan. Students worked with Mangasarian to create carefully molded dialogue matched with comic strip imagery. They kept their stories within nine pages and stylized their graphics using pen tablets and software tools such as Photoshop.

Each participant of the workshop came up with a narrative - old or new, fictional or real - related to Yerevan, and developed a script around it. Some chose to talk about real-life events, including events from their own personal lives, others based their storylines on tales from the city's history. As a result each story differs both in its narrative and its stylistic approach.
