There are many reasons why a person might want to create a comic strip of their own. Some do so as a way to express themselves others are trying to break into the comic trade. There are even teachers that use a variety of animated strips as a teaching aid. For many generations comics have been used to make people laugh, cry or become more aware of certain political issues. It some ways it is an extension of doodling, with this exception that using a template for a comic strip lets you string together your doodles into one coherent statement that tells a story or part of one.

There are very few rules when it comes to writing an animated strip, a template that allows you to create different sizes and shapes as well as orientations will offer you a chance to be far more creative with your work. This gives you the chance to create a different type of strip each time you write one rather than turning out the exact same style every time. This will let your strip make a much bigger impact and reach a much bigger audience.

Depending on your decisions you can even frame one of your finished strips and use it as a gift that can be framed and hung on the wall. Teachers also like to make good use of well designed template for a comic strip as part of their daily teaching plan. The strip can be used to help younger students find the plot of the story or by reading the story out loud, be able to connect more intimately with the characters it the story and learn the lesson being taught.

And so, he learnt to be proud of his fart - and its special place in local history.

Mark Twain, in his book '1601', writes "...one did breake wind, yielding an exceeding mightie and distresful stink, whereat all did laugh full sore."

In the 1940's, the Canadian Broadcast Corporation staff allegedly made a clandestine record called 'The Crepitation Concert'. In what appeared to bereal, staff presented a radio broadcast of a flatulence match, featuring a champion, Lord Windismere and a challenger, Paul Boomer, with a running description of the competition complete with sound effects, crowd sounds, and official scoring. (The dictionary definition of crepitation is making a crackling or popping sound.)
