"The rise of online media has helped raise a new generation of college students who write far more, and in more-diverse forms, than their predecessors did. But the implications of the shift are hotly debated, both for the future of students' writing and for the college curriculum.\n\nSome scholars say that this new writing is more engaged and more connected to an audience, and that colleges should encourage students to bring lessons from that writing into the classroom.

This is a very SIMPLE comic creating website. It might be quite useful for younger children and those who are struggling with written language. It may to be too bland for the more able students, compared to the many other sources available for use in the classroom.

One drawback is that the cartoons must be emailed or printed as there is no saving option.
