Online Comic Strip Site

pixton.com is an exceptional site to use to create your final comic strip. Remember, to save your work frequently. Also, don't wait until the last minute if you plan to create a comic strip online. And, practice sending it to Miss Brown's e-mail at... Amanda.Brown@kentwoodps.org

P.S.: If pixton.com is not working well for you, feel free to Google other free online comic strip generators and use any site that you have approval from your parents/guardians from and are able to produce a quality comic by the Nov.7th deadline.
