Stories from the quake

I've always been a big fan of comics. I think you can do things, storytelling wise, with words and pictures that you can't do with any other medium.

This morning I stumbled upon a series of comic strips telling true stories from the aftermath of the terrible earthquake in China earlier this month.

If you get a chance, give the strips a read. They're really touching and sad. Then afterwards maybe say a prayer for the people of China - or check out the page the Red Cross has set up to see if you can help in some way.

Quick note - I didn't look around the site the comic strips are hosted on. I have no idea what content might be on the other side of any links you click beyond the earthquake stuff. I have no reason to think it might be objectionable, but be just click carefully.

In case you're wondering what Xroad's next series is going to be...




Okay, I just made that up. Maybe if enough people requested it, though...
