Q1 Cartoon Creation
Briefing
The first part of this mission is to make a cartoon. Practice using the program Writecomics.com until you become very good at using the program. If you need more practice then keep “playing” with the Application until you know how to use it, and you can explain the steps to another agent without hesitation. You may want to write down what you do in a list format to help you in the next quest (screencasting).
