Comic strip

A comic strip is like a story that's told through pictures with words written in speech bubbles. Each picture is called a panel, and each panel shows what's happening in the story.

Imagine you draw a picture of a cat sitting on a mat. That's one panel. Then you draw another picture of the cat suddenly jumping up and running away because a dog is barking at it. That's another panel. Then you put the two pictures together so people can read them in order - first the cat relaxing, then the dog barking, then the cat running away. That's a comic strip!

Sometimes, people make up stories for their comic strips, and sometimes they just draw things that happen in real life. You can find comic strips in newspapers, magazines, and even online. Some popular comic strips include Garfield, Peanuts, and Calvin and Hobbes.

Reading comic strips is a fun way to enjoy pictures while also learning about different characters and what they do. So, next time you see a comic strip, try reading it from left to right like a book!
