My old friend and colleague, Kit Laybourne, and I have started to explore Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Networks (imagined as one big whammy of a development sure to change everything by yesterday) as raw material for a weekly comic-strip that will appear sometime soon.

To get ready, I’ve gone back to my favorite software tool, ComicLife 3.0, to experiment with telling stories with graphics and get my chops back, since it’s been a while.

As an exercise, I took one of my Morning Stories, told by a woman named Jackie Lantry, about adopting her 14 year old son, Jack, from China. You can hear her tell the story in the Morning Stories section of the website.
