A method for creating a comic strip includes selecting a background image from a number of background images for a number of comic cells of the comic strip, selecting a character from a number of characters to appear in the comic cells, selecting a character expression from a number of character expressions for the character to make, inputting text speech corresponding to the at least one character, and inputting audio for the character to speak. The comic cells can include different background images and different characters. The comic strip can be created by one user or a number of users.
