Okay, the little skit above isn't all that funny (if you can't read it, try the original larger size version here), but it serves to show just how easy it is to generate your own simple comic strips using a fantastic site I was recently referred to, called Make Beliefs Comix.
It's delightfully easy to use, with just the right amount of options and not too overboard to the point that it becomes complicated to understand, and the generated comic strip can be printed or sent to yourself and your chosen contacts by email.
The creator, Bill Zimmerman, also clearly had educational applications in mind when he designed this, as he outlines 21 ways to use MakeBeliefsComix in the classroom.
There is also this neat YouTube clip showing students from City College, New York talking about how MakeBeliefsComix helps them to develop their English:
Fantastic idea and awesome tool for language education for learners of all ages!
