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!

Cranium Comics has recently launched their first four color comic, Brawn #1.
"I used Comic Life on my Mac exclusively to lay out the storyboards, then later when I created and colored all 24 pages of the issue," recounted Anthony Rezendes, the owner of Cranium Comics and co-creator of Brawn.
The comic 'Brawn' focuses on a dockworker named Sam Ross who was reborn as the hero "Brawn" after he was nearly killed in a drunk driving accident.
"Being an illustrator, it saved me quite a bit of time from having to lay all the text bubbles out manually. It made the process of actually creating the comic that much more enjoyable," Mr. Rezendes added.
We think this comic is great! So check out 'Brawn' on the Cranium Comics site or read the first 5 pages on our Comic Life gallery.

Just noticed this forum on education and thought I'd share a project I did with my son's 2nd grade class in June.
We used Comic Life as the springboard for a three-day project on Visual Storytelling. Here's how we did it:
DAY ONE: Show samples of comic books & comic strips, discuss the "grammar" of visual storytelling. Split class into teams of three. Each team picks one of their favorite stories they read during the year. Figure out how to depict their story in 6-8 comic panels on a single page.
DAY TWO: Teams photographed their stories, using digital cameras and simple props/costumes.
DAY THREE: Teams used Comic Life to import their photos and build their comic pages, adding titles, captions and dialog as needed.
Over the following weekend, I posted their comics on my mac.com page, and printed a copy of each kid's comic for them to keep.
