This document discusses the advantages of using free and open source software (FOSS) for creating comics. It outlines the comic creation workflow, including pre-production (story development), production (drawing, inking, coloring), post-production (text, sound effects, pre-press), and distribution (printing, webcomics). FOSS tools mentioned for the comic creation process include Libre Office Writer, Alchemy, Mypaint, Inkscape, Gimp, WordPress. The document advocates for FOSS because it allows for faster production times, lower costs, and easier distribution of comics compared to proprietary software.
