One of my students showed me a comic he had made with this. It's pretty fun!
I think one of the benefits of using it is that it makes you think about all the various things that make up a comic - characters, speech, backgrounds, etc. -- and also asks you to decide how many frames you want to use. These can be kind of stumbling blocks for a kid just trying out cartooning, so this is a nice way to experiment.
I also like the way the backgrounds introduce a horizon line so you can experiment with making things look closer and farther away.
