One of the best books written on the subject of communication with comics is called Understanding Comics: The invisible Art by Scott McCloud.

Some Serious ‘Comic-Life’ Applications for facilitators and sustainability change-agents …

  • create invitations to community workshops and conferences by government departments

  • For project web pages and blogs/forums
