my first comic


ok, so the project now is to become a cartoonist and write a comic everyday for 6 days, posting and presenting a new one each day. this is my first. i hope you like it. making comic strips is harder than it seems...
if you can't read it (there's a small glare and i don't know how to use a scanner) i'll give you the conversation.
girl 1: "Knock knock!"
girl 2: "Uh, no more jokes, please."
girl 1: "Come on, one more. Knock knock!"
girl 2: "Fine. Who's there?"
girl 1: "Uh, Grace. An Invisible Child of Uganda."
girl 2: "Grace who?"
girl 1 doesn't reply
girl 2: "Grace WHO?"
girl 1: "I'm not supposed to answer. The children, and really any citizen, of Uganda have no voice in their government, or about anything. They are really invisible."
girl 2: "Really? Wow..."
girl 1: "Yeah, it's really sad, but it's a really big issue."
girl 2: "Huh, I had no idea. Hey, what happened to your funny jokes?"
Ta Da!

Invisible Children



Of course we all know about the war in Iraq, it is effecting all of us as we know it. But do you know about the war in Uganda, Africa? Most of the soldiers are kids, ranging from 7-18. They are kidnapped, tortured brutally, and sometimes killed for no reason. They are forced to kill their own people, probably family and friends as well. People leave their homes and villages to sleep in big buildings where a lot of people stay so they can be safe. The rooms are packed with people, every inch of the floor is occupied. These people are scared to death of this army, The Resistance Army. I don't know if you've ever been to Africa (I haven't yet, but I will in the near future) but the kids are so full of hope even though they have nothing, they are grateful for the one outfit they own, maybe one orange a week. They will walk up to you and grab your hand, play with you even though they don't know you at all. They've been calling for our help for many, MANY years and we say we see their suffering, but what have we done to help? One voice will not help. We must speak as a nation, a united nation. We must stand up for those too weak, show that there is hope left because with the help of the Lord, ANYTHING is possible!! Discover the unseen-Invisible Children. What are you going to do about it??

click here to visit the site. There you can purchase shirts, bracelets (which I and many of my friends have), and a documentary about 3 college guys' trip to Africa. All this will go to helping the people of Uganda and ultimatley help to stop this war!!!

May God bless those of you big enough to make a difference and may He be with those in dire need of love and hope all around the world. My prayers are with you...you're in my thoughts.

Quote of the Day




“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”

We always strive to be "perfect" but there's no such thing. Chances are, whether we think it or not, someone out there thinks we're perfect, just the way we are. There's always someone out there that's going to be smarter, prettier, better at sports, taller, skinnier, etc. We need to stop comparing and start being ourselves. That's the only person who truly matters. We need to be happy with who we are because that's who God wants us to be. You're perfect when you're the best you you can be. :)

"Don't let anyone tell you that you're not strong enough. Dont give up, there's nothing wrong with just being yourself that's more than enough..." -Hannah Montana

Have a happy day. :)
