Additional questions and answers
Can you make comics about serious issues?
Yes, comics is a story-telling medium and your story can be funny or
serious, or anything you wish it to be.
Are comics for children only?
No, although comics are used a lot for telling stories to children and
youths, you can also make stories that are interesting for grown-ups.
If the drawing is not good, will people read the comic?
If the subject of the story is interesting to the reader, and on a local issue, then the quality of the drawing is not so important.
If you have a dull story, no amount of good drawing will lift it.
