How many of you read the daily comics in the newspaper? Are you familiar with Peanuts, Dilbert, Garfield, and the Farside? Have you explored comic books for expanding your English language skills? If you haven't yet tried it, you should definitely explore this medium. In fact, my home base of San Diego hosts what may be the largest comic convention in the world, Comic-Con International.
Cause Comics gets the reader thinking about the multiple layers of complexity of environmental issues - especially, the competitive nature of NGOs (non-governmental organizations or non-profit organizations) which, similar to for-profit companies, are vying for the public's discretionary money. Comic books are yet another way to combine storytelling and pictures, which is very much the focal interest of my blog. Cause Comics is offering its first publication for free! Check it out!
Because of the nature of CauseComics.com, it is easy for readers to have a dialog with the author, so if there is something you like or that you don't understand in this first pdf volume, make a comment or send a message to the author. This is another way to practice your English like a native speaker. Be interactive.
***For those of you who are Gary Larson fans (sadly, he stopped creating new cartoons about 20 years ago), here is a look at the reaction of scientists to his creations and a review of his late 1980's exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History.
