Comic Touch: Photo Fun for Your iPhone
Aug 13th, 2008
Here’s something fun for kids and adults. plasq, the maker of the very popular Comic Life, has released an application for the iPhone, Comic Touch. I recently heard Keith Lang of plasq talking about it on the podcast MacJury. I was curious to see how it would work, skeptical that it could do much on such a small screen.
OMG, it’s great! You can take a photo with the iPhone and turn it into a little comic with speech balloons, thought bubbles, and captions that look like real comic book stuff. I created the little one below with a photo from Camp Jean in about two minutes–without having to read a manual.
You can also use photos from your iPhoto library. Special effects are available. Best of all: you can email the finished product in a couple of taps! I wish I had this while we were on the trip–I could have sent some funny stuff back to my sister and brother-in-law.
As a geek, I’m excited by this glimpse of how cool the iPhone can be. As an aunt, I know this is going to earn me lots of cool aunt points!
Comic Touch is $4.99 at the iTunes App Store.
Took your advice on this one, and you are SO right (as always!)
This is so much fun! I should have known it would be because I love Comic Life…still a little skeptical making the transition from traditional apps to iPhone/iPod Touch apps….skepticism slowly receding though.
Cheers!
that is so fun. another reason to want an iphone. sigh. if only my entire family weren’t on verizon…
