Why DOES RM not stop with all the probing? Was it all just a large setup for a corny joke?

I thought his art style was familiar. He's responsible for "Vacation 2003: #3 Requiem for a Black Mage". My only guess for the last word would be "guy", as that first letter looks like a "G", and it would fit with the rest. Too bad the rest of the word is obscured by the panel with the Other Wariors.

On a semi related note, is the end result resolution the comic is in what Brian works with, or is there a higher resolution version only he has access to?

[Edit] It seems I'm probing for secrets too... Scary...[/Edit]

There is a much higher res he works in, it gets small like that mostly due to compression. Though the quality difference isn't too disgusting in the end, he does a good job of keeping it presentable.

Well, it's not "high-res" so much as it is going from a PSD file (millions of colors) to a PNG file (couple hundred colors, maybe). Since most of the images in my comics come from a limited and shared color pallete the only things that really get "obscured" are the backgrounds. The newspaper is unreadable in PSD format as well, if that's what you were asking after.

That's exactly it, actually. It's lke you probed my mind. If only you could probe our pocketbooks by dangling a paid, high res version of 8-Bit Theatre in front us...

...And yes, that was an excuse to use more probe jokes (as was this).

did Scott do a panel for you?? because that drawing style with the newspaper is obviously his..

wow, RM is starting to get a little too sexual for me. still funny though. wow, i used to be innocent! if i had read that comic a while ago i wouldnt have known the meaning of the usage of "probe" in the comic, but now i know..Brian has messed with my mind! AHH!!!!! by the way, GTA made me do it..

I loved this comic.

A) The reuse of the tshirt designs.
and
B) The miniscule detail of the the newspaper atricle that you just HAVE to go back and look at when BM mentions it.

What I can make out in the main article:

Recommendations on boundaries and regulations for what might become...will be in the hands of (random people) and the...by the end of March.

There are some other fragments, but it obviously has nothing to do with the title of the article.

As for the comic, It was funny, but it took me several read-overs to get it, so sadly laughter was avoided. But I did love the re-use of the t-shirt designs and further Rogue-in-action.
