  • What is a comic strip?

    A comic strip is a sequence of drawings that tell a story. Each drawing is called a panel, and they are arranged in a series to show the progression of the story.

    Why do we use comic strips?

    Comic strips are a fun and engaging way to tell stories. They can be used to express ideas, entertain, and even educate.

    What are the key elements of a comic strip?

    • Panels: These are the individual drawings that make up the comic strip.
    • Speech bubbles: These contain the dialogue between characters.
    • Captions: These provide additional information or narration.
    • Sound effects: These are used to represent sounds in the story.
