Cell Phone Comics the New Ambassadors?
American artists make their cartoon strips available to cell phones around the world and look for foreign cartoonists to join them, reports Symbian1.
A group of American cartoonists is selling their comic strips directly to people around the world through an Internet website: fulltiltmobile.com.
Users may download the comics to their computers and then transfer the files to their Nokia Series 60 Smartphones using Bluetooth or other means.
Dawn Douglass, president of Full Tilt Features, says this allows anybody anywhere to read their comics, no matter what wireless service they may have.
Full Tilt comics are presently available in English only, but they hope to offer translated versions in the coming months. "Many people enjoy practicing their English with our comics," said Annie Taylor-Lebel, a Full Tilt cartoonist who lives in Canada and also speaks French. "But if people want our comics in other languages, too, then we will work to make that happen."
