Comic Strip


I have created some comic strips for the print local publication, Aggelia Online.
This is one of them. It' s in Greek though.
The title is
Snail Talk (Sally talk - saligari=snail in Greek).

The character, as you can probably see, is a snail, female, called Sally.

SCRIPT
Title of story: The confession

Bubbles:
1. To tell you the truth...I like LOTTO...
2. The truth is that I like BETTING too...
3. But I also love the roulette. This is the...
4. ...naked truth!

on her shell there is a sign: Confiscated!



More strips next time!
