OpenOffice Draw: Create a comic strip

How to create a simple comic strip.
I'm using OO Draw 2.4 fo this tutorial.
Final image:


1. Start OpenOffice Draw. Select the Rectangle tool from the toolbox located at the bottom of the window, draw a rectangle. This will be your first comic strip box.

2. Set the Area Style/Filling to Color, and set the color to Blue 8.

3. Now copy that rectangle and make it half as high. Set the color to Green 1.

4. Select the Symbol Shape tool from the toolbox. Select the sun and draw a sun in the top-right corner of the blue rectangle. Set the color to Yellow 1.

5. Now with the same tool, select the smiley face and draw a smiley in the bottom-left corner of the green window.

6. Select the Callouts tool and draw a speech-bubble above the smiley face, drag the tail so it looks better.

7. Select the Text tool and write something in the bubble, I wrote "Hello!".


8. Copy the blue box and drag it to the left, make it smaller so it fits. Do the same with the green box. Also copy the smiley. With the Symbol Tool, create a cloud, choose the color White 1. Create another speech bubble and write something, I wrote "What a beautiful day!".

9. This is basicly it, play around with the different shapes and experiment.

10. Here's what my final comiclooks like:
