Animal comics
Animals are the easiest characters for a short comic: they need no explanation and each has its own personality. Here are ideas and a 4 panel script.
Use this script in the editorStory ideas
Cats and dogs
A dog and a cat compete for the couch spot closest to the window.
The hurried turtle
A turtle wants to get to a party that starts in five minutes.
The fish who wanted to see the world
A fish in a bowl convinces the cat to take him for a walk.
Sample script: The couch
- 1A cat sleeps happily on the couch, in a sunbeam.
- 2The dog arrives, looks at it and jumps onto the couch. FLOP!
- 3They glare at each other, each in a corner. GRRR!
- 4The kid of the house sits in the middle. Both snuggle up to him.
Tips
- Give each animal one exaggerated trait: the proud cat, the clumsy dog.
- Animals can talk in bubbles or only use sound effects (WOOF!, MEOW!).
- Ears and tails express emotion: use them instead of the face.

Pick one or two animals, give them a clear personality and put them in front of an everyday problem: food, a place to sleep or a toy.
Not necessarily. You can tell the story with gestures and sound effects only, or give them dialogue like in fables.
Cats, dogs, fish, chicks and turtles can be drawn with simple shapes: ovals, circles and triangles.
