Introduction to Create a Comic Strip

A comic strip is a group of drawings that often tell a story in a funny or surprising way.

Each drawing is one scene from the story, and each scene appears in its own separate box or frame.

A comic strip includes all the parts of a story, like characters, settings, and objects.

Text appears in bubbles to show what the characters are saying or thinking.
