Hello! I tried to do this quick comic in the program stated above. After I saved and came back, it cropped the top and bottom. How do I avoid this, if I want to make a long file? This is the program that came with my Wacom tablet.... it DID say something about 'if you want to avoid layers being automatically condensed, shell out dat cash now!'. So that could be part of it?

There are a lot of webcomics out there. Regardless of genre, they all need basic components to make it a comic. The look of the characters, background... most comics have their characters in the comic constantly, but backgrounds tend to vary quite a bit. Some treat the backdrop as an important or detailed addition to the setting (Buck Godot, Bad Machinery, Runners...) and other webcomics prefer to focus mainly on the the dialogue and characters (Penny Arcade, Awkward Zombie, Head Trip). Comedic strips seem to focus less on background, as the dialogue is much more relevant.  


While setting is important, I realize I often don't pay attention to the background of a strip. I typically focus on the characters talking, and then move on, and only every once in a while look at the architecture. What I'm getting at - is (detailed) background important to you? Do you notice it?

hey everyone! I don't really have anything to talk about, I just didn't like being reminded I was accepted into AU every time I signed in. But don't get me wrong! I love that school, really. It's going to be a great 4 years.

I still wish I could tell you all I'm almost caught up with my poems, but I'm not. I keep writing! When I'm caught up to the point where I'm submitting things right after writing them, I'll tell you all.

*undignified arm pump*

I have no excuse, justification, or reason* regarding my absence, so I won't try and give you one. In the meantime, I've-

+graduated

+bought a Wii with graduation money
---------No More Heroes
---------SSB Brawl
---------Zack & Wiki
---------Bikini Zombie Slayers (i'm shameless)

+acquired a summer job babysitting

Since I'm making money (in a manner that doesn't involve customers), I'm going to pierce my ear and finally dye my hair blue, which I've wanted to do for the last 2 years.**

Oh, The Tap-Dance Staircase did, in fact, make it into the school montage. I'll upload it shortly.

and btw , I've missed talking to you!



*i'm lazy

**upon reconsideration, i have the means too, but my hair is too short, in my opinion. I don't think blue hair will look cool yet. But earrings are a-go.
