Comic Relief for ASL Signers One of the best tool to switch from left brain linear spoken or written English (pick any language) to the right brain creative 3 dimensional hemisphere - is to use comic strips or a comic book to describe classifiers of people, animals, environment and backgrounds.  Another method is to mime one segment of a short situation and ONLY mime the story.
