Chinese Comics for Newbies

I spend a little bit of time reviewing characters at work. I thought it would be so much easier if there was some context for them, incorporating some visual aid. Comics are great at that and my dad is an artist/illustrator and that was it.

Here is the result. I hope there will be more but he's a busy guy so it depends on his availability.
The dialog was taken from this lesson.

Hope you enjoy!

I love it!
Given the availability of your artist I'm sure it may not be possible, but I would love to see a continuous story line.
Either way, keep em coming man.

Ok it works for me, actually I try all sorts of ways ways to learn to read Chinese, I like this even though it was short as there were many high frequency characters, and one I could not read (I know how to say hungry but not read it :)).

I would have gone the whole hog and stuck in a character for 7 though.

Appreciate the production problems but the idea is sound in principle.

Possibly cartoons with audio also would be good, not sure who would do it though. I have seen flash cartoons with characters and audio for learning Chinese but they were not very well done.

Congratulate your dad, I actually feel dissapointed there isn't a series.....

Jason, the artist is indeed a busy guy. We'll see what he can cook up.

Chris, it's an honor to see you around my little neck of the digital woods. I've kept up with your blog and am amazed at your progress. Keep it up!
