The visual nature of comics just speaks so much louder than text.' He felt that Bitstrips was a 'medium for self-expression', stating that 'It's not just about you making the comics, but since you and your friends star in these comics, it's like you're the medium. Blackstock explained that the concept of Bitstrips was influenced by his own use of comics as a form of socialization a student, Blackstock and his friends drew comics featuring each other and shared them during classes. And even if you can do it well, which I never could, it takes years to make a story.' Brown stated that the service would be 'groundwork for a whole new way to communicate', and went as far as describing the service as being a 'YouTube for comics'. Brown explained that 'it's so difficult and time-consuming to tell a story in comic book form, drawing the same characters again and again in these tiny little panels, and just the amount of craftsmanship required. The service was originally envisioned as a means to allow anyone to create their own comic strip without needing artistic skills. Bitstrips was co-developed by Toronto-based comic artist Jacob Blackstock and his high school friend, journalist Jesse Brown.
