Edit: Reading on, a fire just happens to be at the house they're in front of. I guess that's good, if it had happened anywhere else there wouldn't have been a hydrant nearby.

Slylock Fox (Nov 9, 1992)  The abysmal production values, for one. How do you expect to make a great movie on that kind of shoestring budget? Moose and Molly  Not what I expected the world's fastest car to look like, although if it's capable of hovering like that that would reduce drag.

Moving on, thanks for the list. I got into this strip after seeing you post it in the thread a good while back so I'm glad there's plenty of stuff the thread hasn't seen yet. If you're okay with it I'll start posting the ones you don't have at some point soon. Out of curiosity, two quick queries: 1.) Where do you host your images? 2 .) Do you edit your scans? If so how? Apologies for the basic questions. Haven't really posted images before and want to be sure I do it right.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:RE teachatte, I'm a coffee drinker, and only drink tea when I'm out of coffee. However, several years ago, my sister in law (who is Malaysian) left a "box" of tea at the place we spend some summer weekends at. We had no coffee at the time, and so I decided I'd drink that in place. The tea was in little paper envelopes, and I judged each "envelope" would make one pot. I believe it was oolong, but the box, and envelopes, were basically covered in Asian text, so I honestly had no idea what I was drinking. Regardless, I made a pot. Holy loving poo poo did that stuff have a kick! I was vibrating like a loving tuning fork! Usually tea (for some unknown reason) has barely an effect on me, but this stuff was like crack. I did like its sort of "smokey" flavor too. Alas, over a period of several weekends, I drank it all, and never found out what it was exactly. I would love to have some more. That might have been lapsang souchong, but that's not "sort of" a smoky flavor, it's usually an unmistakably strong smoke flavor. Keemun often has a subtle smokiness to it, and is closer to oolongs in flavor. If you're feeling particularly daring, get yourself a little pu-erh; some people like it, but the only pu-erh I've had tasted like old shellfish that had been dug up from a bog.

Nipponophile posted:A lot of your comics have been almost unreadable recently. What's going on there? For comparison, here's the same Doonesbury I pulled from gocomics a few minutes ago. I think the computer I've been using has been failing to load them properly. I've been kind of rushed lately so I haven't done a close check. I'll make sure to do so next week. Tiggum posted:Are you sure? It doesn't look like her. That was my first thought, but then I looked at the preceding panel and noticed she's driving the exact same goofy mini-truck she used in that rain comic a few days ago.

Nyeehg posted:I'n that case, I retroactively give thanks to those guys as well. At any rate I love the avatar. Yeah, no problem, I can run through the last 2 stores, which'll take around a month, then have you take over. 1 : I host them on Imgur, which is fairly nice, since you can just go to imgur.com and drag+drop the image straight from a folder into the browser, and have it upload, plus it can spit out IMG links so you don't have to do that manually. 2: Yes, I dunno what you have, but I've been using Photoshop for it. Auto-corrected colour and contrast. Set it to Greyscale. ( Although a lot of posters like the warm yellow-ish hue the pages have by themselves. I however love how stark and beautiful the black on while lines can be.  ) ( The poster who posted Moominmamma's Maid, where my avatar is from, preferred the warm yellow way. ) I also later started pushing the Levels slightly, making the blacks blacker and cleaning away a lot of the noise/paper texture, making the white even sharper. Then rescale it down to 1000px wide, cropping away the giant margin beforehand. Although, the width is kinda up to you, I've been using 1000px just to make sure that nearly everyone can read it without having to scroll side-to-side. But the lower res does smudge some of the details. Then I save it as a .gif with 32 colours( It saves a lot of space.), 64-128 for yellower ones, you'll be able to see how many colours you use, anyhow. End result, fairly sharp and nice black and white comics, at only 400-700 kb a page, despite the size. I suggest you mess around a bit, and figure out what you like the most, and what's most practical for you, really. It also depends a bit on what kind of result you get right from your scanner. Comparison: 400KB vs 3.8MB And my perhaps too agressive Black/White Level scaling on the bottom.    SubNat fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Mar 1, 2014 |

Darthemed posted:Bill The Cat stinks, people. (way-o, way-o, way-o) *tuba solo* But we love him. Jim's Journal  Brian actually reminds me of a guy I worked with for a while at a c-store. Every day he came in, first thing he'd do after clocking in would be to switch out whatever CD I had playing for one of his LivePhish collection. Had a "Just Say No To Shwag" sticker in the rear window of his car. We actually got along okay until the day they checked the security camera footage and saw him taking a couple hundred dollars worth of twenties right out of the drawer and stuffing them into his wallet. Johnny Hazard  She's hardly a Breezy, but she's what the strip's giving us.  Krazy Kat   Classic Mandrake  Simply marvelous. 3J himself would be proud.
