[quote]I am in the early brainstorming stages of designing and buidling a web-based comic writing contest to be hosted on the student resources site I am buidling for our university.

It's a private university in Tokyo, and I work in the English department. My idea is for a contest in which blank (ie, empty speech bubbles) are displayed online, and then students submit their ideas of what to include in the bubbles.

How I am going to judge this, and how the comics will be displayed, has not been decided, but I just realised that I am going to need a lot of comics for the students to write the text for.

I was wondering if anyone here might be willing to share some of their comics with me (no text), so I can use them for the contest. I can't offer anything in return, and as the site is password protected, I can't even say you can see how it all works on the site..

But, perhaps this could lead to a bank of comics for educational purposes that we could all draw on.

Please let me know what you think. If anyone is willing to help, reply here and then we can work out a way of getting the comics to me.

Content can be anything whatsoever, and there doesn't need to be an obvious story-line, my students will think of one!

Thanks[/quote]

Greg	Sounds great. A contest always motivates people, especially students.
Doug Young	I don't have any comics as yet - just downloaded CL - but am only 100km north of you in Ibariki-Ken. Am interested in using this for Elementaries grade 5/6 and up to adult. Your Comic Bank sounds very interesting.
