Comic Strips

Comic strips are small drawings that are very funny (like at the top of this website). Comic strips are a fast, easy and a fun way to learn English. The dialogues will often help you learn new vocabulary. And when you laugh, you know that you have understood the comic!

This in an example of a comic with a Chinese translation.

Here is a website to read comics:

These are my three favorite comic strips:

http://www.garfield.com/comics/vault.html?yr=2011&addr=111001

Maybe I hardly to understand this comic...

Sometimes they can be difficult. Calvin and Hobbes is much more difficult than Garfield. They are short, though! So your frustration won't last long... don't give up.

Are there something different expressed in the comic strips way? Will they make some difficulties when I understand them?

Things are not necessarily expressed differently in comic strips. They are supposed to be jokes, which means they are supposed to be funny.

Can you understand this one, for example? (You may need to look up one or two words, but that will help your vocabulary.)

It means Garfield can sense somebody who become crazy and wild and the person who speaks to Garfield is in that state?

That is why all the comics are the capitalization?It is difficult to see dicrectly and understand.

Ryan: Yes, that is correct! The man thinks that cats have a special radar that can know when evil is near, so he asks the cat if evil is present. But the cat is annoyed so he tells the man that he does not sense evil, but instead he senses a "geek." So he is trying to make fun of the man.

Better: They always write in capital letters because it is easier to read than lower case letters; they are bigger.
