12-year-old Floridian girl creates her own comic
Spectrum Bay News 9 did a report about a 12-year-old girl, one of the youngest children to possibly create her own stories in this sense, who's written and published some comics of her own:
While the COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges, for some, it was a new way to form hobbies and create new opportunities.And with the aid of her family, it's self-published. Good for her that she's being creative. There aren't many writers this young I know of, but this girl's certainly setting a good example.
Ever since Lily Wojtkowski can remember, she’s had a crayon or marker in her hand.
“It’s the fact you can make anything you want but on the paper,” she said.
Drawing is second nature to her — in fact, one thing she remembers from her childhood is drawing characters from the television show “My Little Pony.”
“I always liked doodling things that I had seen on a show or in real life,” she said.
[...] She also loves creating a story with her imagination. She says it started from reading comics in newspapers.
“But I wanted to make a whole page like a graphic novel, so I decided to do this interesting style of a comic book where each page is a different plot but all of them sort of all go together,” she said.
When the pandemic hit, Lily had an idea — to create her own comic book, centered around her pet rats, Pretzel and Dot, (and yes, their favorite snack is eating pretzels).
The book is called “Pretzel Rat.” Her comic book is about her pet rat who is a mailman and loves adventures.
