Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Make your own comics with HyperComics
When creativity is snooping around inside your head, where can you go for an outlet? If you're into comics, then HyperComics could be your space. HyperComics is a social network built around comics, naturally. It's a way to network with like minded comic book creators, and get in contact with industry resources. Members can showcase their original material and have other members discuss and comment on creations.
HyperComics uses a desktop application to build comics. It would have been nice if the software was available online, but hey, it could be nice to be able to work where there might not be a connection as well. The application is available for PC's only, and is a whopping 140 MB. So sit back with your favorite drink because this could take a while. When the 30 day trial wears out, the software is $29.99. Licensed comic art is also available on the website as free downloads, and from $2.99 - $9.99 per set. The art sets allow users to drag and drop all kinds of starter artwork, templates, and action imagery into their storyboards. Of course if you are a veteran, you can upload your own creations from scratch into one of the many layout templates. After the comic is made, upload it, publish, and unleash it to the world.

Plasq is getting ready to release a Windows version of the FAR superior Comic Life (OSX version is already available). Comic Creator DESTROYED my XP installation, I wouldn't recommended it to anyone.

Dave - what happened when you installed it?

I have several programs that have their own PDF print drivers, the main one I use is for generating price quotes. It destroyed all of the PDF print drivers on my system. I uninstalled Comic Creator and the quoting software, then reinstalled just the quoting software but the PDF driver was still messed up. Only way to fix the problem was to restore to a backup image.
I then installed comic creator on different PC without the quoting software. Every time I rebooted CC automatically tried to reinstall but couldn't find the install files. I had to uninstall it from that system as well.
