A series of feature length cartoons that can will amuse everyone including non-English speakers and illiterate people.
I got the idea as I was teaching English to private students. I scrawled the cartoons on A4 sheets of paper with a pencil, had the students look at the cartoon and tell me the story in English. It worked pretty well. Later, I inked them in, scanned them, and touched them up a bit. Here are some of my best ones. ESL teachers may find these useful...
Chapter 1 -- Cornelius the Genius and the Space Rocks
Chapter 2 -- Cornelius the Genius and the Moon Landing
Chapter 3 -- Unidentified Flying Twins
Chapter 4 -- Cornelius the Genius and the Terrorists
Chapter 5 -- The Saturnians
Chapter 6 -- Cornelius the Genius Meets the Saternians
The End
