Cartooning/Comics


Tool: MakeBeliefsComix.com (http://www.makebeliefscomix.com)

Review of Tool:
MakeBeliefsComix.com is a tool you can use to create your own comic strip. Using the various characters and backgrounds included on the site, you can put your own comic together. The characters and objects can be resized and moved around the panels and you use your own text in the word and thought bubbles. You can add or delete items as many times as you want.

Getting started is quite easy, you simply click on the Enter Here box and can begin putting your comic together. However, a demo is located on the left hand side should you need it. Click on the little bird man to view the demo.

Recommended Use for Public Health Messaging:
I think the best use for this type of tool would be simple and straightforward messages, not something that would require a great deal of explanation and demonstration. Some examples would be using seat belts or sunscreen, or placing baby on back to sleep as in the comic below.
