When I was a child, the very best day of the week was Sunday mornings when my dad left home early to bring back an armload of newspapers, all with their glorious color comics sections. The funnies were my paradise – I’d spend the morning going over each strip, following the adventures of my favorite characters, even flying in the sky with them. I’d look at the dazzling illustrations, be drawn into their colorful worlds and be challenged to decipher the letters in the white balloons coming from the characters’ mouths or floating above their heads. And with help from my father, I’d try my best to sound out the words in the talk balloons and make sense of the stories they told.
I have never lost my love for comics, and have even created a web site — http://www.makebeliefscomix.com — where you can create your own comic strips online. The site offers you fun characters with different moods to choose from, blank talk and thought balloons to fill in and even printables on which you can write, draw and color.
If you want to have a good time today why don’t you go to MakeBeliefsComix.com and try out the site either on your own or with a friend or child. I promise you you’ll have fun.
Who are your favorite comic characters? Mine used to be Wonder Woman — she was so beautiful and I loved her special powers.
Please share your thoughts and your comics with me.
