How to Create Your Own Comic Strip

Chris nice comics, but do you have a code to get onto bitstrips.

On a side note seeing as how I am an IRC junkie, Microsoft had an old IRC client that would allow you to convert the chat into a comic strip with the text appearing in bubbles and the users randomly casted as characters. Needless to say the strips came out funny and added life to the chat.
But this is quite cool and adds some personalization to emails and such. I plan on creating one and adding it as my signature on my emails. Thanks for the info

Great job Chris and Ponzi…I think these are very funny and you to should continue to creat them.

The second strip was hilarious! I keep thinking what Ponzi thinks about these stips. Nice work Chris.

Just a thought, is this a Web 2.0 app? Or is it a desktop app?

OK Ponzi is just as nuts as Chris :) love the toons, but whats up with the ‘couch’ ?

lol

Looks cool i’m going to check that out. I bought comic life i hope this is as good as that!

Hahaha that is pretty awesome. I gotta try that out. I usually just hand draw my web comics, and use flash to ink and color them. The good ole natural way, but this definitely is a nifty tool for people to make comics easily.

haha THis is funny. You know I am in the Media and I love this stuff.
A couple of friends of mine in my classroom are Drawing this by hand! That amazing :D

Good comic do :D

Hehe, fear the wrath and potential revenge of Ponzi. I wonder, did you draw that yourself or use some sort of program to draw the characters? Nice comic strip. Grats.

Thanks Chris! Me and my friends are using your helpful advice towards making a comic book! Me and my friends where using Comiclife and yet we never we’re amused with it. Thanks for this brand new program! Me and my friends greatky appreciate it!

I came in here expecting a list of tips, but this is a pleasant surprise. Like Boredcollegekid said, it could be very useful in signatures. Not only email signatures, but on forums as well. Wouldn’t it be cool to see someone using their forum signature as their own little webcomic? I think so. I would use it for that. You could use this on your blog too, Chris. A comic a day at the bottom of the blog would be cool to see.

It’s too bad that it’s still in private beta, though. Is there a way that you could get us some invite codes?

Chris very nice comic, it is very hard to believe that you can make such nice comics and not have special software. Good job Chris.

LOL! You can have some serious fun with that! Being able to easily create your own character that looks just like you is a definite plus to. you can have some fun with this! you can also loose some friends…

I like that. If more people could easily make media to share with others, I think we would have a lot more entertainment and know of more great artsists. Good work!

This is one of the many new web 2.0 design services, these things just keep getting better and better. Aivery (or however its spelled) is cool too.

I designed and penned my own comic strip for years as a kid in high school, it was featured in our yearbook and monthly newsletter. It can be a fun way to release stress and open avenues to releasing pent up aggresion. Fun, Fun, Fun!

There is a kool program out there that I might bring into the chat sometime and show everyone it takes and monitors the chat and when it sees something funny it will make it into a comic that is able to be seen by anyone.

But the comics you made are funny still :D

Good job chris keep on streaming

Chris, Chris, chris. Let the first two stripes be a lesson for the future. And that lesson is.

“When you make fun of your wife, your wife WILL extract revenge.”

However, I am going to look at the site. It really looks like an awesome place to be a curative person.

Haha, you’re good at drawing Chris and/or Ponzi. I used to make tons of comic strips that included Mario & other Nintendo-related characters. You have inspired me to make more. :)

Well, I always use flash to make my comic strips but this does look a lot better and will save a heck of a lot of time.

Thanks a lot for the find Chris, I think I am, going to setup a weekly comic on my blog.

These would be great for emails too, like a weekly newsletter

Always wanted to get into comics, never started, too cheap.

I llustrator is really good but its expensive, inkscape is good too and its free

I can’t wait to get an invite to this. I’ve always wanted to have a go at creating a comic, but I’ve never found anything simple enough do use.

Any idea when they’re going public?

I love this! Will try it out!

Awesome find on this Chris thank you. I have always wanted to get into the comic strip business, and even had a few ideas when I was in high school. This will make it easier for me to get started now. I will also check out ComicLife too. Great suggestions, thanks again.

Honukai, I like your ideas with using them in a signature file. I would love that in forums that would otherwise be boring at times.. the signatures with comics would really heighten the day and even make for a laugh once in a while, something we all need these days.

Perhaps this would be a great way for some of us to get out our dusty pen tablets and get to drawing too.

How to Create Your Own Comic Strip ~ Chris Pirillo

great comics chris. is there anyway to get to it without an invite code or an existing account. i would love to try it will you send me an invitation anyway you drew ponzi and yourself really good at least you did yourself better than ponzi did. I tried to do one in photoshop but it didn’t work out right great post.

there is tons of good comic strips, this has the potential to fall into that category, My favorite is CAD, http://www.cad-comic.com/

Hey Chris whats up!? I luv your live show man, I have a question, what is the invite code for bitstrips I just went to the site and cant join without it because its a beta.

Well, went to go try it out and, to my shock and horror, discovered I need a code. :-/ Hmmmph! ;p Any codes? Or maybe a few codes as giveaways in chat?

Uh… babe? :-D

Very funny!

lol :))) nice drawing. Who’s the girl :>
