Kid’s Programming Language (KPL)? How about a kid’s word processor! It writes comic books, of course. Great way to spice up the photo album. Yes, it exists (for the Mac).

After reading about the Kid’s Programming Language I visited its site. I wanted documentation, but couldn’t quickly find it (WTFM? Where’s the fine manual?).

I did get screenshots of games, though. Games created using KPL. The idea of tying games (fun!) to education (institutional!) seems like a good idea. I’m not sure how necessary it is, but then I’m the kind of guy who uses emacs every day.

Anyhow, it got me thinking: how about a comic book word processor to encourage writing? With a quick search I found Comic Life for the Mac. Check out their gallery. According to Chris Pirillo they are porting it to XP.
