Each person draws a few panels of a shared story — one person starts, folds the paper to hide everything but the last panel, and passes it on. The absurd results are funnier than anything planned.

The Essentials

  • Sketch the story as simple stick figures first, focus on plot not art skill
  • Divide the story into clear panels — beginning, twist, punchline
  • Let kids write the dialogue in speech bubbles themselves
  • Keep captions short; comics rely on images to carry the story
  • Display finished strips somewhere visible to celebrate the work
