Make Beliefs Comix is a free website (donations accepted) that is 100% family friendly. It allows users to create their own comic strips. There is a cast of several different characters pre-sketched for one to build a story around. From thought bubbles to speech bubbles, it allows the writer to create a story board from one to 4 panels long.
For me, I thought this might be fun to create memory comics about our family's day to day moments. I've always wanted to keep a proper journal, but with a never-ending list of To-do's, I fight to keep up with it.
Here is my first "publication"...It was inspired by my first grader who was not feeling too well and thought maybe he should stay home from school. Then I reminded him that it was "Guest Artist" day and Papi and I were planning to join his class to help out with a special project. This motivated him to at least have breakfast and see how he felt once his body got warmed up. Sure enough, he wasn't as tired by the time he'd completed his morning routine.
Afterwards, I jumped onto http://www.makebeliefscomix.com and went to work myself. Enjoy.
