For the inspirational picts I used http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/motivator.php I thought this was a very easy and friendly site. I didn't need to sign up, which I really like, (too many steps and I'm outta here). I recommend this site, if you enjoy these kinds of things.
The other site I used http://www.comicstripgenerator.com/ I thought it was a bit of a hassel. One too many steps, and when I tried to upload a photo to use a comic bubble, I spent almost all afternoon trying to figure out how to place the bubble. I do like the calvin & hobbes comic, but there wasn't a big pool of stuff that I liked in their library.
I think I can use this to show the kids what makes sense in their writing. It's easy to just write about anything, but when you have to relate it to a topic or a picture, then you have to do some thinking.

I agree, Ultimate Teacher! I like to going to sites without having to sign up. I have signed up for many things. I am forgeting my passwords combinations.How can we have our kids use these sites without signing up or having an email address?
I found myself in this same situation last spring. I'm not sure about this step. I noticed that some second graders have an email address, while others have problems even turning on a comp. I'm sure there's a website out there that has tackeled this issue. If I find it, I'll be sure to share.
