Create comic strips with customizable panel grids, speech bubbles, and caption boxes.
A comic strip is a timing machine before it is a drawing: the beat lands when the panel grid forces the eye across the page. This tool builds that machine. You choose how many rows and columns of panels to set, then fill each panel with speech bubbles for character dialogue and caption boxes for narration. The grid, the bubbles, and the captions are what the tool manages; it is not an illustration program, so the art in each panel must come from elsewhere. The surprise for most users is that the layout comes first, so long dialogue breaks the panel before the drawing does.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
2x2 grid with four dialogue lines: Panel 1: Left my keys in the car. Panel 2: The car that's at the shop? Panel 3: The car that's at the shop. Panel 4: ...
Expected output
A strip of four panels in two rows of two. In reading order the panels hold: (1, top left) Left my keys in the car., (2, top right) The car that's at the shop?, (3, bottom left) The car that's at the shop., (4, bottom right) ...
The 2-by-2 grid produces exactly four cells, and the dialogue is placed in the standard comics reading order (left to right, then top to bottom), so the lines land top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. The result is a finished layout even with no art drawn.
The strip's skeleton is a rows-by-columns grid you set before writing. Each cell is a panel, and the tool lays the panels out in comics reading order: left to right, top to bottom. Choosing the grid commits you to a panel count, so a 2-by-2 strip has exactly four beats; pacing is planned at this step, not later.
Two text layers share the page but do different jobs. Speech bubbles carry character dialogue and point at whoever is talking; caption boxes carry narration and usually sit along a panel's top or bottom edge, read before the dialogue. Text wraps inside the bubble, but panel size is set by the grid, not by the text, so dialogue that will not fit has to be trimmed or split across panels.
Usually, but treat a grid change as a re-layout rather than an edit: new rows and columns reshape every panel, and the pacing changes even when the text is unchanged. The practical habit is to fix the grid before writing dialogue and to re-read the whole strip panel by panel after any change. A two-by-two grid changed to four across is a different comic.
No. The tool manages layout - the grid, the speech bubbles, the caption boxes - and it does not illustrate. The artwork in the panels is separate: you either bring your own art or the strip stays as a typed composition. If the drawing is the point of the project, this is not the tool for that part of it; if the dialogue and pacing are the point, it is.
