Strip Generator- Easy to make Cartoon Strips
It takes more than being able to select pieces and drag them into place to be a strip cartoonist but I guess that Strip Generator is as near as you are going to get unless you are a PhotoShop whizz. You can play with it without registering but free registration gets you a blog and extra tools.
The main use of the site is creating strip cartoons and the Flash interface is pretty good. You have three frames, but you can remove them or add extra and resize them. There are a large number of icons, humans, beings, shapes, objects and text bubbles to play with. These can be resized, flipped and rotated.
Like most everyone else on the site I am a talentless hack and Dilbert etc have nothing to worry about in the shape of competition but I still fancy creating something! This is an excellent site- very nicely implemented and well worth a look.

Ficlets – Collaborative Short Stories
If you like writing but don’t want to spend years writing novels etc, why not have a go at ficlets? A ficlet is a very short story, between 64 and 1024 characters long. It’s collaborative in that anyone else can add a prequel or sequel so you’ll probably never know where it starts or ends.
It’s an interesting idea and very popular judging by the number of stories which if the numbering is anything to go by is several thousands!
