Comic Strip Template

Panel, script, punchline - in one place

A comic strip is written twice: once as a script, once as a layout. Keep them in separate apps and you spend your time reconciling the two. Skrib’s comic strip template puts the panel grid and the script on the same Board, so the beat you wrote and the panel it lives in never get separated.

What’s in the comic strip template

Everything a strip needs before it goes to art - on one canvas.

• Flexible Panel Layouts: Three-panel daily, four-panel gag, full page, or a layout that changes every strip. Drag, resize and reorder as the joke demands.

• Script on the Panel: Dialogue, captions, SFX and art direction written straight onto the panel they belong to.

• Character & Continuity Bible: Cast, running gags, canon and design notes pinned to the project.

• Series Map: Arcs plotted across weeks of strips so you can see the run at a glance.

• Art Reference: Model sheets, roughs and inspiration uploaded beside the layout.

Why plan your comic in Skrib?

Static templates give you boxes. Skrib gives you a workspace that keeps up with a running series.

• Plan a Whole Series, Not One Strip: An infinite canvas holds the arc, not just today’s three panels.

• Continuity That Survives 200 Strips: A detail from strip #12 is still right at strip #200, because the canon lives in the project.

• Search Everything Later: The Library finds that one throwaway line you now need to call back to.

• Clean Handoff: Writer, artist and letterer work from the same panel-by-panel board.

• Script and Layout Never Drift: One file, one source of truth, no reconciling two apps.

Who is this comic template for?

• Webcomic Creators running a strip on a schedule and tracking continuity across a long archive.

• Comic Writers scripting for an artist and needing a clean, panel-by-panel handoff.
