Plasq brings Comic Life to the iPad

by Kelly Hodgkins (May 4th, 2011)

Comic Life, the popular Mac application that takes your photos and lets you turn them into a comic book, is now available on the iPad. The iPad version launched late last week and includes several features of its desktop counterpart, including templates, balloon controls and social network ...

Comic Life 2 for Mac delivers more thought-balloon fun

by Michael Rose (Dec 10th, 2010)

From time to time, I'm asked to name my favorite Mac app -- as if such a designation was even possible (I love you all equally, kids, don't worry). If you pushed me and narrowed the question a bit to, "Is there a Mac app that you keep coming back to when you have to create something cool in a very ...

Apple patent turns video games into comics

by Mike Schramm (Aug 13th, 2010)

This might be the wackiest patent that I've ever seen Apple apply for. The company has recently put in a patent to describe the process of making a digital comic book out of a video game playthrough. The idea here is that you'd play through a segment of a video game (Mass Effect is the one used in ...

Plasq ships Comic Life Magiq

by Michael Rose (May 8th, 2008)

It's Magiq day. First announced and demoed at Macworld Expo in January, and eagerly awaited by doodlers everywhere: Plasq's new evolution in the Comic Life product line, Comic Life Magiq, is shipping now. Magiq is not an upgrade to Comic Life, which is still sold separately -- it's a whole new tool, ...

Click To Play Skitch is the latest app from the boys of Plasq, makers of the hugely popular Comic Life. If you've never seen it in action, take a few to check out the simple yet powerful interface. ...

POW! THWAK! Comic Life updated

by Michael Rose (Jan 11th, 2007)

Notwithstanding the pre-beta Skitch product announcement, the Plasq crew have been busy as beavers (despite having never met in person before Macworld; talk about your distributed development teams) on their already-released products. Comic Life 1.3 is out for download now and includes: Visual ...

The Cocoa Conundrum

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 31st, 2006)

When it comes to software on the Mac platform it's a mixed bag. I don't mean like on Windows, where the bag is full of snakes, scorpions, rusty blades, and the occasional bit of peach. Software on the Mac has been in flux for a decade. When Apple bought NeXT, most of us figured Copland was dead in ...

Comic Life 1.2 review

by Scott McNulty (Jan 16th, 2006)

The good folks over at Nonstopmac (where they talk about Macs nonstop I would assume) have taken a close look at Comic Life, and they like what they see. Give the app 9 out of 10 nonstopmacs, I would say you should check out Comic Life (and plus we have written about it about a million times). ...

Comic Life now bundled with intel iMacs

by Scott McNulty (Jan 11th, 2006)

If you need another reason to lay down the dough for a new Intel iMac then I have got one for ya. Cris Pearson, the CEO of plasq, just let me know that Comic Life is bundled with the new iMacs. Comic Life is a favorite app around here, and this can only mean good things for iMac buyers and plasq. ...

Comic Life Updated

by C.K. Sample, III (Apr 25th, 2005)

Just before the weekend Comic Life, which is a great fun product that I blogged about previously, came out with an update to 1.0.1 with a few new templates (but, alas, no PSP template yet) and reduced the price: "Yes! 1.0.1 has new styles, new export options and more... now at only $24.95 ...
