I just want to say, yoru comic is funny, the characters interesting, and your locations are great. My comic takes place in my room, with action figures roaming around my computer station, my shelf, and even facing the horrors of my closet. Yours is like actually at a place other than a room. Its like the whole autobots base and everything. Really well done.

Thanks, man. It's really not hard if you have a couple of toy playsets lying around. The real trick is constantly coming up with new sets as the stories demand them, but photoshopping your characters onto an image can bail you out whenever you don't have anything real to use.

Seriously, that is a program I need. The quality of my comic suffers from mspaint.

It's not top quality, so I'm looking to weed out MSpaint entirely, but it's not a bad place to start at all

Same here. I've used photoshop on a friends computer. Ms paint makes word bubbles a HECK of alot easier, and photoshop doesnt have a FILL tool like the paint bucket in paint, but other than that, photoshop doesnt degrade your JPGs like paint does

Well I finally bit the big one and learned how to do word bubbles in paint yesterday. It's actually easier, but harder to figure out the first time around. After you create the words, you go back, create a layer beneath the layer the words are on, use the round selecter devise to create a circle around the words, and then paint it in with the paint brush. You need to know about layers in order to do this, but it works really well. You'll be seeing it used in ACT from now on

Well, I do it even easier. I use the round selector thing to make a bubble with a black outline, then I use the text tool to put the text inside that. And then I draw the direction of the bubble.

My bad. I meant to say I finally learned how to do word bubbles in Photoshop. I've been doing word bubbles in Paint since episode 1.
The new way is actually far faster and easier than it sounds, and looks a lot more professional, in my opinion.
