Austen Knows Best: Me--in a Comic!

"And to this purpose"

"If people like to read their books, it is all very well, but to be at so much trouble in filling great volumes, which, as I used to think, nobody would willingly ever look into, to be labouring only for the torment of little boys and girls, always struck me as a hard fate; and though I know it is all very right and necessary, I have often wondered at the person's courage that could sit down on purpose to do it." (In other words: rambling analyses, opinions, ideas, views, and comments from an English major, Essay/paper-writing enthusiastic, Austen-loving Master Librarian on, well, Jane Austen...and a whole lot of other things, too.)

Me--in a Comic!

More Tech fun tonight. One of the tasks I've given the teens is to create a comic strip using http://www.bitstrips.com/.

My first impression (when I only had a few minutes to browse the sight) was not very favorable. It seemed so restrictive.

But I had more time to play with it this evening.

And had a lot more fun.

Especially as I thought of something to work around the fact that they have absolutely no props for books. (I know!!!!!!)

So, here is my first comic strip. Enjoy!
