Should I Open This Email?
I actually had a conversation like this. I was a bit surprised when the user asked if they should open a email that was flagged as a virus. It took all I had not to laugh at them. Just in case anyone reading this doesn’t know, generally IT recommends NOT infecting your machine.
I have been trying different angles lately and some other experiment. In the past I have just colored inside the inked lines. The problem for me is I end up coloring part of the line. So this week I have had a separate layer just for color. I think it is the right way, but it’s taking me much longer to finish.
Anyway, I hope you like the toon. I’m really trying to get away from just having talking heads for the toons. Let me know what you think.

Funny toon Barry. The strip is lookin.’ Great. I can see more action in them. I am trying to do some color and add some action to my stuff too and it helps me to watch what you are doing.

I like seeing the color drawn in a separate layer. I know for a fact that at least two other webcomics I read have color as a separate layer. It may take longer, as you said, but the end result can be very nice. However, if more time spent means less updates, then I’d still vote for the old way because I like all the comics you’ve done so far.

This comes from being “overeducated”. When I was in IT, we would be wiping machines and come across a virus and want to see its effects…WRONG! You can’t do much on a wiped machine, so we would transfer it to a test PC….WRONG! and go from there…someone would always forget and download something from the test PC…WRONG! or use their flashdrive…WRONG! We never thought we could catch the virus cause we were too “smart”…WRONG! It is funny though…
