The following sites are great fun for creating comics:

Witty Comics: A great place to create dialogue. Try writing an interview or tell a joke.

Professor Garfield's Comics Lab Created: This is really cool! 

Pixton: Create incredible comics. Make sure you sign up for “Pixton for Fun,” not “Pixton for Business,’ watch the “How-to” videos before jumping in (there are a lot of tools), and save often. If you don't you run the risk of spending 30 minutes recreating an elaborate scene, clicking "undo" to remove a tree, and then watching all of your hard work disappear.
