So I discovered the other day that my new Mac came bundled with Plasq’s nifty Comic Life, a program that lets you easily drop your photos and other images into comic book layouts, add effects and word balloons, and generally cause you to lose track of time.
I started putting together a simple page last night to see what it could do, and show Liz how cool it was, and it kind of got out of hand after that–becoming a three-page mini story of going to our friends’ wedding in October:
It has a few little quirks that annoy (trying to get the right thing selected can be tricky once it’s been dropped into place, and the fancy lettering really doesn’t like to export to PDF without a fight), but it’s probably one of the most fun and imaginative apps I’ve played with in a long, long time.

what a fun idea! I hope you are sending them their wedding comic - I have a sneaking suspicion that they would love it.
it’s action-packed and thrilling! I love it!
That is frickin’ awesome, dude!
that almost looks cool enough to justify buying a Mac. Nah…
