On Wednesday, July 11 through Sunday, July 15, while attending the Comic-Con International 2012 in San Diego, I ran around to as many of my favorite kids comics creators as I could and asked them all the exact same questions. Keep in mind, comic book conventions are crazy loud and crazy busy, so there is a lot of background noise. Let me know in the comments if you have trouble hearing anything and I’ll translate for you.

I love that there are more and more webcomics being published for kids. Kids love messing around on computers, so the more kid-appropriate material that’s easy for them to find, the better, as far as I’m concerned. Shiftylook, the online webcomics version of some of BANDAI’s classic arcade games, has done a nice job of making fun, kid-friendly webcomics. They’ve also been smart enough to remember that girls play and love video games, too. Check out Stacy King’s Rocket Fox story and see what you think.
