There seems to be a million ways to send an SMS message these days. There are Google Hangouts, Apple’s iMessage, WhatsApp. I can go on for days, but that’s not what you’re here for.

I stumbled across a really fun way to text with your friends and it doesn’t involve any silly emojis or self-deleting pictures. ComicXChat is an app that transforms your SMS messages in the form of a comic strip.

According to Engadget:

“The app promises real-time changes to character position, facial expression and camera angles among other things, based on implied emotion, tone and attitude. And if any of that goes horribly wrong, you can share the comics either per-pane or the entire conversation via your social media network of choice.”

I tried it, I liked it.

I actually found this to be quite interesting, so I tried downloading it. Unfortunately,  you’ll have to drag a friend or two to see the app in action. It won’t work unless you know other people on the app. Bogus, I know, but it makes perfect sense.

After doing a little convincing, I was able to get on of my cousins on board. We went back and forth a few times, and I actually found it quite amusing.  Instead of getting the dreaded text notification, I actually looked forward to it.

ComXChat is available for free on iOS, Android, and Windows.  Don’t forget to tell your friends!
