Thank you all very much for your encouraging comments. I'm really, really happy you liked it!
The speech bubbles were well positioned, as were the various other "effects", such as the whoosh of the cars racing down the hill and the impact of Meg hitting the ground after swerving to avoid the dog.
I'm sure there must be more (and better) free, downloadable stuff out there, as far as sound effects and comic book fonts go. I'm planning to look into that. Those effects really make a story come to life, I love how Lynx does them in his
The Story of RandolphJust as Raven I like the "cars" and the "baah" comments of the baby sister.
Do you happen to know Spirou (Robbedoes), the Belgian comic series? There are comics of him as a toddler (Le Petit Spirou), and the sound effects in those stories are hilarious.
And actually... the baby in this story is a boy
Overall, a good, taut, short and to the point well thought out photo story, with every frame adding to the story and nothing unnecessary.
That's good to hear, because I was worried about that while I was making pictures. At first I thought about doing this photo story without any dialogues or text at all, so I tried to make sure every frame would speak for itself.
The puzzled look on the cat (how did you manage THAT?!) looking on while they are working on the car (another great pic) is priceless.
No you see, I took the picture with the cat watching, and while doing the dialogues I just noticed his expression. I swear he did it by himself
There is one thing that bothered me - all the kids in hats in class. My teachers would never have allowed that! At least not any of the ones worth the name (had a few.... duds )
Yeah, the hats, and the bonnets, I know
As a teacher I don't allow caps or hats in class either. You know how everyone customizes the adult clickies? I have a history of customizing the children, so the hats have become part of the outfit.
