This is a simple prototype for a comic panel generator. Given character images, a background image, and text, it produces comic panels with standard speech ballons. The layout is predefined, though the order of speech is configurable. One neat feature is that URL filenames are valid, so images off of the internet can be pulled directly into the panel.
Example panels and a screenshot are shown below. The original background image is from http://www.struat.com/here/eek2.jpg.
Here is the zipped source code. Note that it is written in Java 1.5. The GUI was developed using the NetBeans IDE.
