Introducing Cartoons About Ebooks and Digital Reading


December 30th, 2011 | By Piotr Kowalczyk
As I’m collecting at Ebook Friendly cartoons about ebooks and reading, I’ve noticed that there is a shortage of new stories on the web. Most of the great ones were created months – or years – before.
Ebooks are now on their way to become mainstream. Users need tips to address their questions, but they also need something to address their concerns. I think cartoons are a great way to help ebooks become part of people’s lives. Embracing by having fun always works:-)
The first cartoon is live. It’s called Books for Christmas (you may already expect what it is about).
As you’ll see, this story is not told from a perspective of an ebook enthusiast. It’s just not a good perspective. Please let me know what you think of it (and what you think of an idea of ebook-focused cartoons in general).
It’s not the first cartoon series I’ve created, but it’s the first one done completely on the iPad, which, by the way, works really well as a drawing tablet. Tablet pen and one good app do it all. It’s SketchBook Pro (AppStore link).
The cartoons are available with Creative Commons license, so feel free to share them on your blog. To make it even easier, an embed code can be grabbed from under every cartoon.
If you want to get new cartoons, simply subscribe to Tips & More feed by RSS or email.
