Have you ever wanted to make your own comic strip, but the problem is that you can’t draw to save your life? Check out Pixton. It’s basically a user-defined comic creator, no artistic ability required.

It allows you to make your own comic by positioning body parts, choosing facial expressions, skin color, hair etc. You also get the option of “remixing” other peoples comics or letting people remix yours (the original remains unchanged, it just makes a copy that can be changed around). The interface takes a little getting used to, but after a couple of minutes you’ll soon have your first basic comic-strip.

Admittedly, it may be basic, as it’s currently only stick figure characters, but its cool how you can reposition their body in every way and create your own facial expressions to match your speech bubbles. This flexibility in expressing your characters can lead to a surprisingly cool comic-strip. You’ll still need to supply a good imagination though!

Try it out for yourself at the Pixton site here, it all works online, no downloading required!
