Creating Your Own Cartoons
A couple of posts ago, I drew a quick cartoon and put it on this blog. Today, I worked with a online cartoon creator at ToonDoo.com to create this simple explanation of the government’s stimulus package. It would have been quicker for me to draw, but ToonDoo might entertain your inner child. It has a several characters to choose from but is limited in the types of eyes, mouths and hair for your character. ToonDoo gives regular html and flash object code to embed your cartoon. I’ve included both version of the cartoon to see how well they show up. While this post loaded well under Internet Explorer, I couldn’t get the flash viewer to behave in my Firefox browser. So I added the “Kimili Flash Embed for Wordpress” plugin. Now the flash player seems to be working well in Firefox. Just put your mouse cursor over the cartoon to control which panel is displayed. Let me know if you have any problems view them.

Hi,
Thanks for liking ToonDoo, and reflecting just what we think - that it appeals to the inner child in all of us!
You had said “It has a several characters to choose from but is limited in the types of eyes, mouths and hair for your character.”
Just wanted to know if you have tried our TraitR - a unique character builder tool with hundreds of options to change face, hair, color, skin, dress, nose, mouth……….

this is a great way in making your own cartoon
enjoy reading it cheers!
Hello Rajendran, I created the ‘victim’ in the cartoon using the Traitr feature. In it, my choices in three of the character’s traits were 13 eyes, 9 mouths, and 6 eyebrows. I was disappointed that I couldn’t find a mouth that conveyed anger or being upset. The same disappointment goes with the eyebrows and the eyes as well. Still, you have a great site for the budding cartoonist. I highly recommend that everyone check your site out!
This is a good way of having fun.
Never thought that I may find such a good way of havin fun on web.
Thanks a lot.
