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!

Sounds great. A contest always motivates people, especially students.

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.

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!
