See You in the Funnies

Today, I visited a class of gifted students in the Onion City. I was delighted to hear that the pupils were exploring comic strips. As an aficionado of sequential art, I was more than happy to share what little I know of the topic. Before I left, I suggested that the students take time to visit a nifty site called Make Beliefs Comix. It's a site where kids--heck, anyone--can easily generate a comic strip.
