I WordTooned fish to playfully tell its story. Even the worm is having a good time. Fishing can be a reel good time!
Category: Fun
A category of WordToons whose purpose is central to creative work and a purpose for the web site as a whole.
Hugs
The dearest form of communication, hugs confirm our humanity in all kinds of ways. They express our personhood. That’s something they didn’t want us doing during the covid lock down. the mandate was six foot separation. Let’s hear it for hugs!
Shiver
I’ve WordTooned this word to demonstrate how you can play with words using single stroke letters or outline letters to have a word talk about itself.
Lamputate
Here’s a delightful WordToon created by adding the letter L to an existing word. Even the e is cut off. English can be a fun language.
Cup
Here the letters go together to shape the cup. But you can’t drink out of this.
Tickle
Here I’ve made the letters wiggle as they giggle. The faces indicate and prelude to a laugh.
Coffee
The word can tell us all about itself — no sentence required. The eyes have it!
Giggle
This is the wonderful prelude to a laugh which we need every day. Giggling is health giving.
Tea Pot
A little imagination shapes these letters into what they’re talking about. Smell the Darjeeling?
HA HA (doubled up with doubled HA)
From my Book: I Do WordToons and You Can Too! I’ve doubled up HA and added color for this example from my book.
As you can see, color adds much to your word’s expressiveness. Sometimes after adding color, I want to go back in and strengthen the letter outlines to make sure each letter reads OK. It’s interesting to me how each doodling stage tells me what to do next. I wonder now, what the WordToon for “Doubled over with Laughter” might look like?
