Good afternoon,
My name's Anne and I'm the editor of a not for profit Christian parenting magazine in Australia. We have a kids page in our magazine - and I'd love to include a comic strip. We print 9,000 copies of the magazine each run and the magazine is published quarterly.
If there were any keen comic artists who are happy to share their gifts and have their work printed, I would really love to hear from you and see your work.
Some ideas for the strip could be:
Fruits of the spirit
Kids learning about controling their tongue (add humour, fun, colour!)
Self discipline
Jesus Saviour to the rescue
Short Bible stories
One of my favourite bibles for children is the "Big Picture Bible Storybook" where the stories connect Christ throughout God's story. Comics that reflect this would be wonderful.
Unfortunately I couldn't pay you but I'm sure the young minds you reach will appreciate your hard work. I would be happy to include a bio on you and include links to your webpage or work - and I can send you half a dozen copies of the printed magazine.
I would be looking for a strip that was no bigger than 1/2 an A4 page. It could be a quarter page? Up to you.
The organisation I work for is Christian Education National (Australia). Our website is http://www.cen.edu.au/index.php/publications-article
My email address is anne.blair-hickman@cen.edu.au if you would like to contact me directly.
I hope to hear from someone. In the meantime, I wish you all the richest of God's blessings and may He use your talents to draw people closer to Him and His kingdom.
God bless, Anne

Hello! God bless you for your magazine ministry to the youngsters! I wish I were good enough at art to answer your call, but I'm just a scribbler I'm afraid. If you don't meet someone here that can help you, perhaps you could try the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/christiancomics/ which is a very active group indeed.
May the Lord lead you to finding that perfect artist to bless youngsters for God's great glory!
