I am looking for a good comic strip website that allows you to print off the comic without any words written in the bubbles. Anyone know of any? I want to use this as my closing lesson next week. I have printed off some comic and I am just going to writeout the words, but I think the quality might be a little better if I can find a site that has blank comics on it.

This is one place I found, but most of the comics had captions...

Your best option might be to dowload a B&W then edit it in your photo editor to remove the captions...It takes a little longer, but it is relatively easy to do...Hope this helps

I've found a couple of sites where you can make your own comic strips by dragging pictures and speech bubbles into the boxes. Looks really neat. I am at work now and the info is at home, so I will try to remember to look when I get home later tonight.

I think you can also do this with Captain Underpants - there is an official "educational" website under Scholastic.

I used

with my uni students and they seemed to enjoy it. It's a bit basic but good fun!

Check my teaching folder. There is a zip file full of comic related materials and some with bubbles for student completion. You might also use the JoonAng weekend , in the International Herald Tribune. They have a weekend insert which is crap but the full page comic has some nice bubbles that you could photocopy and use...

On the same topic, I just made a nice presentation of teacher related cartoons. If you are bored, take a look and find something that will make you laugh.....

I'll keep it there for awhile until returning it to my presentations area, only accessible to efl classroom members.

here's the site that I found on my travels the other week: http://www.readwritethink.org/materials/comic/index.html

It's pretty cute! Haven't had a chance to use it yet though.
