Our second of three comics sent to us by John Baird as part of the Create a Comic Project. The artist for this second page is Erin Ptah of “And Shine Heaven Now“.

Concerning the Create a Comic Project: The Create a Comic Project is a youth literacy program that teaches kids to enjoy creative writing through comics. For three years and counting, the project has helped educate hundreds of children from all walks of life. Many of the Internet’s top webcomics have loaned their art for use in the project, making the CCP one of the largest multi-comic educational collaborations of its kind.

About John Baird: John Baird’s earliest experience tutoring others was in elementary school reading to younger kids. He liked it so much he kept doing it well into his college years, earning recognition from AmeriCorps for his service to the community. He thought of the Create a Comic Project while working as an English teacher in Taiwan, ROC, to promote creativity and language skills among his students. He’s current in Pittsburgh, PA, and can be reached at createacomic@gmail.com.
