Comic Strip Assignment

For this assignment, you are to create a minimum of a five-frame comic strip.  Use the following link to come up with an idea for your comic strip.


You may use the internet to find appropriate graphics, if needed, but you will likely find all you need in the clipart gallery in Word (or Clips on the Web).

The comic does not have to be humorous.  It can be serious, sad or funny based on what you choose.

  1. First, Change your page orientation to landscape.
  2. Insert a box with autoshapes.  After you draw the first square, right click it and go to Format Autoshape. Then, click the size tab at the top. In the boxes that come up, put in 2 in the heighth and width box. Click OK. Then, use control C (copy) and control V (paste) to copy the boxes across your page.  
  3. After all boxes are drawn, be sure to center them on your page or they will not print or might hang off the page (use the white arrow button, draw a big box around all of them, then pick it up and move it).
  4. Be sure to put a title and your name in reverse text using a text box with a black background and white bold text at the top.  
  5. Be creative and use lots of pictures. Really show the background (trees or buildings, or furniture if it is an inside scene).  Also use callouts (look in autoshapes) for dialogue. Use the crop tool (format tab) to crop of any unnecessary parts.
  6. Check your spelling!


Save the final strip as SSSTRIP1 in your student folder and print and put in the basket.

Pick up a handout for an example.
