Make Your Own Cartoons. For Free!

by Bill Russo

I recently discovered a few free websites that help you make your own cartoon strips.

Here's one I made at MakeBeliefsComix.com........


The site is easy to use and has a wealth of easily used images and graphic tools.  There are resources for everyone, including special articles, books, and programs for educators.  A number of free books are also available including one in which you put your own caption to a pre-drawn cartoon.

You merely have to think of something for the cartoon character to say and then type it into an empty speech bubble. Here's what I came up with for a cartoon depicting a coffee shop with a bored waitress serving coffee to a man seated next to a bug-eyed alien...


Another good site is https://www.bitstrips.com/create/comic/   although you are unable to save

your work and post it on your own - people can see your work

only through the website.

MakeBeliefsComix.com does not save any work on its site.  You get to save your own work and treat it as a regular photo.

I hope you enjoyed my cartoons.  Please let me know if you did and if you'd like to share your cartoon strip, I would like to see it.

Good Luck and Happy Cartooning. 



The Mystery of the Disappearing Cape Cod Flower Boats

Flower boats. 

Old dories dragged ashore, 

Not long ago they were as common as
 Clam Chowder on old Cape Cod. 

Now, there may only be one left!







Why have they all but disappeared?  Is a 300 year old ghost the cause of it all?  The answers are in  Chapter Two of "The Creature From the Bridgewater Triangle.
