What Is a Comic Strip Template?
A comic strip is a form of visual storytelling that combines art and narrative to entertain, engage, and sometimes provoke thought. Found in newspapers, magazines, and online platforms, comic strips feature characters who interact in humorous or relatable situations within a few panels. With concise storytelling, they challenge creators to distill complex ideas into simple bites, offering readers entertainment, insight, and sometimes social commentary. Overall, comic strips are a powerful and accessible medium that entertains, informs, and inspires audiences worldwide.

Open Creately: Log in to your Creately account or sign up if you don’t have one already. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard.
Select a template: In the Creately dashboard, click on the “Create New Diagram” button. Then, choose the “Template” option and search for “Comic Strip” in the search bar. Select a comic strip template that suits your needs and click on it to open the editor.
Customize panels: Once the template opens in the editor, you’ll see pre-defined panels for your comic strip. You can customize these panels by resizing, rearranging, or adding more panels as needed. Use the tools provided in the Creately editor to adjust the layout to fit your story.
