We all know that I’m not the best artist… no, no… it’s true. Luckily, thanks to Bitstrips.com, in order to make comic strips I don’t have to be! Here’s my comic strip about pilgrims… it’s most educational.
Nowadays, you don’t have to have skills in order to be creative!!! Lucky me.
Can’t convince your little one that reading is worth their time? I’d be willing to bet that they still think comics are cool and don’t even realize that when reading them, they are in fact READING. I won’t “nerd out” on you and tell you that comics deserve every bit as much literary criticism as novels (you must admire my self control) and simply state that the pictures provide a very effective “carrot” for your reluctant reader.
Bitstrips is a site that allows users to make their own comic strips with customizable characters. Customization… what a good idea, right? Now, they’ve rolled out a kiddie version for schools called, well, Bitstrips for Schools.
By making their own comics, kids are empowered, and yes, tricked, into creating literature.
I must brag that I have been a Bitstripper since just after the site’s launch and have even had a comic featured on the “front page”. You’ll see my lovely wife in a cameo in the second panel.
