HERE'S MY COMICS

Heart of the City is about a precocious young woman named Heart. I picked it up a few months ago, and if there's more direction to it than just sending her off on whatever week-long story the author comes up with (and making Star Wars references), I haven't noticed it.


The Boondocks Did you ever see that cartoon called The Boondocks? This is a lot like that.




Zippy the Pinhead The joke is that you're reading comic strips.


Ripley's Believe It Or Not Is a pale, pale imitation of a once-great and once-informative cartoon panel. These days, it coasts on tracings, Wikipedia scroungings, and boring reader submissions.


Dick Tracy Famous dick Dick Tracy does police things and ignores laws to do so. I post the early days of the strip. Today's strips are from April 7-9, 1933, in case you were wondering.

By the same token Mother from Another Country is currently in its fourth season. Kakao has used some sort of technical wizardry so that even using shenanigans like disabling javascript or downloading the webpage directly won't provide me with images that can be edited and rehosted.
What about the Print Screen button in combination with Ditto? It'd be a hassle, admittedly.

Let's start the new year off properly.

With some Moomin.

Double dose, because I didn't have time to scan them yesterday.

And Moomin dealing with his house being occupied by his poor relations seems like a good fit for the current season.




e: is the size alright with everyone? 1000px width should be enough to fit on pretty much anything nowadays. And I really don't want to make them so small the details go away.
Because there are so many tiny lovely details everywhere.

Size is good, but would you mind bumping up the brightness?

Quick comparison:

I’ll be traveling for the next few days, so you’ll all have to find some way to get through life without servings of Ripley’s.

And I've got something to add to my line-up. I'm going to be doing it as the full pages of the scan source, since splitting them up would be too much of a hassle for me.

It's been described as a bad acid trip, how far off am I?
That’s... pretty far off. It’s more like an episode of a kids’ show with the budget and creative direction handed off to someone who’s written dozens of fanfics about it and has a lot of weird, uncomfortably horny ideas.

Is this the size you obtained it at? because this is too small to read for me.
After I cropped down my scan, it was 755x611, yes. I tried expanding it with Imgur's size lettering, but it wouldn't go larger, for some reason.

Here it is bumped up to 1200x971.


And at the same size, but with the nicest-looking Sharpen settings I could work out.


If that looks good, I'll go with that routine for the future strips. And if anyone has tips to improve the output (the sharpened one looks kind of chunky to me, especially with the lettering), please put in a word.

It... doesn't really look good but I can at least read it. The dailies have been fine, note. It's just this sunday was much smaller than them, despite the original preseumably being larger as a Sunday strip.

... Hang on, your scans? Are you scanning these in from a source yourself? If so could you just... scan them at a higher resolution?
Here's the same strip at 200, 400, and 600 DPI.







I'm thinking 200 DPI should be sufficient.
