Photo comics

Hey there kiddo! Today, we're going to talk about photo comics, which are basically stories told using pictures of real people and objects.

You know how your favorite animated TV shows have characters that move around and do things in each episode? Well, photo comics are kinda like that, except everything is real and the characters are played by real people!

Think of it like this - instead of using a pencil to draw a picture of a superhero or a princess, someone takes a photo of a person wearing a costume or a fancy dress instead. Then, they add speech bubbles (you know, those cloud-shaped things that show what people are saying) with words and make a story out of it.

It's a bit like a comic book, but instead of drawings, you get to see real people acting out the story. Sometimes, people even get creative and use props or toys to make the story more interesting!

It's a fun and creative way to tell a story, and people have been doing it for a long time now. So, the next time you see a comic book with real people in it, remember that it's a photo comic - a story told using pictures of real people and objects!
