Your hesitation serves you well, for that really is all I've learned. Then, perhaps in the next comic, I'll learn a few more tricks, and then a few more... ad nauseum. Hopefully.

I'd suggest you make the sprites bigger, in all the comics.

Will do.

Its like the worst way to break the fourth wall.

(But that's all just my opinion.)

Oh, I know. The fourth wall was just there because I really, really couldn't think of what sort of comic I wanted to make. Now that I've picked something, it shouldn't pop up again.

You do seem to be improving so hey, keep it up.

Thanks, I think.

Resize the entire sprite sheet to a 'whole' interval (switch to %, make sure it's 200%, 300%, etc)... though I think that I broke my own rules on that on the first two comics, think they were only blown up to 150%.
