can i be the guy in the base thing who pilots all the vehicals?

Druidal, your comic-making skills need some... brushing up.

1) There wasn't any real coherent plot... Or humor. I suppose the second part could be disputed, but you get the point. The thing just seemed to be made on a whim or perhaps the idea itself was either half-thought out or poorly executed.

2) The text was poorly represented. Use either Text Boxes, Text Bubbles (Circles instead of squares), or slap an outline around the words instead of putting a single chopped-up color around the words. The font choice wasn't very good. It kinda looked like you <I>drew</I> the words pixel by pixel; Too blocky at that size (Really should only be used for robotic voicing and such), and I'd guess it'd be barely readable at a small size. Some form of Arial font or Comic Sans could be used for regular speaking if you don't want/don't know how to use the fonts at Blambot.com.

[Druidal]

yeah there wasn't suposed to be a plot

also for some reason which i couldn't figure out the "type" button in paint wouldn't work so i had to draw pixel by pixel

also also isn't there SOMETHING good about it???

[Skyshot]

To work the font button in Paint, you have to zoom out. If the text toolbar doesn't show up, go to the View menu and click on the most obvious choice for what you need.

[Bailey]

zooming... out?

I knew there was something easier than typing in word and copying it over >.<


and it sorta made sense to me, although that may be because you explained it, but it still would have been better if you had pasted a picture of the paint paintbucket there like I suggested instead of using the remote I've got set aside for if my turn in background wars ever comes up.

Would have made more sense overall.

[Loyal]

Yeah, Paint doesn't let you type stuff unless you're zoomed out, for some stupid reason.

Delirious treat (1:42:40 PM):	NEVAAA! Coz I do have an idea, you know... it's just finding the time that proves a bit more difficult than I'd thought.

Damn you, Meister! You had me thinking that you had the next comic up! ;_;

My brother says you got it backwards Oster!
