Clip art is a good way to introduce the art of comic narrative to people who might otherwise be intimidated by a perceived lack of "artist talent." Clip art usually serves a strictly utilitarian purpose, and its anonymous, often un-copyrighted, perfectly reproducible public nature is an intriguing contrast to other types of art. It can serve as the impersonal structural units through which more creative personal art is produced. The amount of free clip art available online is virtually unlimited. People like myself, who do not own a computer, can make entire comics quickly and cheaply using computers on the job or at the public library.
