ToonDoo is a lot like Comic Life, but it provides the user more characters and props to work with. It is also more labor intensive and any problems you run into you will need to figure out on your own. If you choose to use Toon Doo, you will be expected to have your submission completed at the same time as the Comic Life users. No extensions will be given for any late work.
