Strip Generator is a site that lets you create your own Web comics. You use their pre-defined humanoids, objects, and text bubbles, edit them however you wish, and presto. You’re a web comic genius. I put together the strip above in about 5 minutes. Someone with a bit more talent, but not a lot of time or know-how, could probably do much better:

Goo Monster

There are other “do your own comic strip” sites out there. But they’re mostly not very good. Certainly, Strip Generator has them beat on several fronts:

  • Strips actually look like web comics.
  • The flash editor is superb. The tools aren’t complicated, but they’re generous. You can do just about anything you want with the simple text/graphic editor and the library of humans, beings, and objects.
  • You don’t have to register, but if you do, you can save your strips to a running blog. All strips are embeddable and readers can comment.
  • The site design and copy. I wouldn’t ordinarily single out a Web site like this for its general savoir-faire, but everything about Strip Generator suggests a love for Web comics, and an understanding of the medium. They truly want you to enjoy creating a pro-style comic. It’s just really well done.

Anyway, try it out. It’s fun.
