The Magnet Comic is a dry erase cartoon board that allows anyone to become a cartoonist. It comes with a set of four magnetic characters all with their own individual personalities that are reflected in nine different facial expressions. This gives 36 character pieces to play with. They can be arranged and rearranged to create different scenarios. A person simply adds speech bubbles above for more hilarious context, which they can do with the dry erase marker that comes with the Magnet Comic kit.
Created by American artist and innovator Erik Heumiller, the Magnet Comic comes in different wood finishes including walnet, African rosewood and wenge. The Magnet Comic kit is currently vying for funds on Kickstarter and has surpassed its $6,500 goal by raising $51,890 so far.
