Title: Just flew in and my arms are as tired as this joke
Post by: Hurlshot on April 18, 2010, 12:23:18 AM
Hi everyone,

I have been building a new webcomic site and a few people pointed me towards here for advice and know-how.  So far I have found it very informative.

I am a Middle School History teacher and my comic revolves around my classroom experiences.  It is a bit of a class project, I have students getting involved and so far it has been extremely fun.

I built my site using Comicpress and so far I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.  Here it is for a gander:

Thanks for creating this great community resource!

Welcome. I can imagine it's tough being a middle school teacher. That's right around the time I started getting quite uppity. I think it's great you're including the kids in this. In a few years maybe they will be here learning how to get their own comic on line.

If you are interested in History based webcomics I can't recommend "Hark, a Vagrant" (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php) enough. As a non-history buff many of them go zooming right over my head but I'm sure someone with your background might have a finer appreciation for the subject matter.

This one in particular I found amusing. (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=257)

Wow, that's really cool that you get your students involved =D  You're probably one of the fun teachers I liked so much in school (and learned the most from as well)!

Petty nifty.  Welcome aboard, Teach.  I guess I have to watch my P's and Q's now.
