We are delighted to offer a beta of our upcoming Comic Life Magiq 1.0.3 update.
It has numerous stability and significant performance improvements over 1.0.2.1 - so we would love previous users to download and let us know if you come across any issues.
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.
Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...
This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.
If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".
Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.
Comic Life is great for sharing those funny little moments from school, in the office, or while on worldwide progressive-rock-legends tours.
Robert Fripp and Tony Levin have been sharing the day-to-day stories of touring within one of the most influential prog rock bands - on King Crimson’s 40th Anniversary Tour.
Ever wished you had the fun of Comic Life handy at all times? Ever been out at a party, family gathering or on public transport and wished you could add your 'comic touch' to a photo? Now you can!
We're giggling with glee to announce Comic Touch for iPhone and iPod Touch. Add various speech balloons and captions to your photos. Choose a fun special effect to warp and bend your family and friends, then email the results to them!

Ginny, Thank you for this great idea! I am working with my students right now - we're creating a movie for our principal that's based on _The Important Book_. We used the camera in the MacBook to take pics of the small teams. I can't wait to show it to her!
Thanks again Ginny.

Yep, I just checked it out - and it seems to be loading fine using my Safari browser....
Hi! I'm really excited to see your movie . . . I'm having some trouble getting it to load. Is this link still active?
Thank you!

I love it, Ginny! Now that version 1.3 can copy and paste to other apps, you can use the images and balloons in other apps (like Keynote if the school has iWork) and use Comic Life as the engine to support a wide variety of interactive activities!
Also, if you use them in conjunction with video editing, you may want to point teachers to FreePlay music.
For educational in-class use, the licensing is free.

I love Comic Life! I've been using this product, with rave reviews, since last May with teachers and classes in our school district. It is the best application for "hooking" students into writing that I've seen in a long time...if ever!
One idea you may like to try with your students is to create a "silent movie". You do this by using multiple pages of one photo. Have the characters in your photo talk to each other. Rule: One balloon per page. These pages then become the "slides" for your silent movie which are then exported to QuickTime for viewing.
You can read more detailed instructions and look at a sample silent movie on my website at
