Comics: Save Water Save Power

Written by vik

Topics: Campus, Comics, Environment, Kids' Corner

I had made the following comics on saving water and power in early May 2009 using Bitstrips when my campus (JNU) was facing severe water crisis and emailed it to friends and also pasted it as wall posters in my hostel.  It has some  everyday tips on saving water that most of us ignore!

    I happen to chance upon your blog and all I want to say is I like it very much!
    Interesting comic. It sure catches my attention as it’s colorful and cute!

  5. Zach Si says:

    I got a question. How do you insert the feature where there are links at the top of each of your posts showing the next and previous posts?
    Thanks in advance.

    I swear that I won’t waste water from today on! :P Now, why don’t you create some comic strips on Global warming?

  7. Ronak says:

    Nice one…
    In fact, comics is a great fun way of sending accross an otherwise serious message… this is something which even google had done successfully during launch of chrome…

    Hope to see more of such comics on your blog..

  8. Nice, funny and thought provoking :)

    conservation of water should be taken up at schools. the kids should be made to understand the importance of conservation. also builders and real estate fellows must be forced to collect rainwater and harvest it. even if it means the government has to pass some tough legislations.

    Here’s a business idea, Vikas. Why don’t you have an entire comic book devoted to saving water, another saving trees, third saving child, fourth…. They’ll sell like hot cakes, nay like cool drinks.

    Thankx, I liked your post.

  12. Vikas says:

    Lizu, William, Mr. Nanda and Shivya,

    Thank you for the appreciation.

    Lizu and Mr. Nanda, agree with both of you! Mr. Nanda, I use Bitstrips to make these comics; can’t make it like professional ones! But it’s a good idea!

    Please read the latest comics on Delhi summer!

    Thanks.

    Hello Aryan’s Mom,

    Thanks for the appreciation! And I’m a bit busy. will surely visit your blog later [maybe in a week]. I kind of feel bad with you coming here so often and I showing no courtesy!

  22. Vikas Gupta says:

    Oorja,

    There was no water to save in the first place, LOL! They all liked it (the girls, in particular)!

    Later it turned out that there was some corruption and more than half the water meant for JNU was being illegally diverted and sold elsewhere by employees! Probably the administration is yet to take some action (you know govt. employees are so hard to reform or punish!).

  23. Vikas Gupta says:

    Thanks Reema!

    I know you are a conservationist at heart! I’ve seen your posts on these themes on various blogs!

  24. Vikas Gupta says:

    Zach Si,

    Welcome to the blog! You can make your own comics using Bitstrips!

  25. Vikas Gupta says:

    Zach si,

    that depends on various themes [probably the feature is called navigation if I am not incorrect]. There are many themes with header that also have this feature. Try experimenting with themes and see this post on my blog too for suggestions.

  26. Vikas Gupta says:

    Zach si,

    You may also visit my various friends on WOrdpress in my links page and check out their themes for suggestions!

  27. Vikas says:

    Ahem, Rampantheart! You are reading my blog! I am surprised! You are not one who read blogs if I recall correctly! Welcome! :D

    May create some strip on the suggested topic later. I do it on an online portal and it has it’s limitations. Will tell you as and when I do it!

  28. Vikas says:

    Thanks Ronak! Will surely make more later! :)
