  • *shrug* I can't speak for such things, so I have to go by Photoshop's retail price as a point against it compared to The GIMP.
  • Actually, the aliens were preparing for a ground assault. Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith flew over a legion of alien soldiers, and Goldblum surmised (with his dizzying and wholly illogical powers of deduction) that they were weakening Earth's main defense forces with the ships, then moving in on the ground to finish humanity…
  • It's hard to argue with The GIMP's cost of $0.
  • Well we already know that's no excuse, since I linked you The GIMP, which has the same layer feature as Photoshop, and you seem to have made a conscious decision not to use it. No one's advice is going to be any good to you if you don't heed it.
  • Posting our conversation about how you need to make a thread hardly counts as making a thread! Also, Independence Day was hilariously awesome. So there.
  • Actually, I think the Wikipedia article was lifted wholesale from Comixpedia, meaning my comic's presumably still there. But doesn't splintering Wikipedia into multiple specialized encyclopedias defeat the whole purpose of having a unified all-encompassing source of information?
  • I always figured it was an explosion in Smash Bros. Melee. After all, it damages those too close to it, and engulfs them in flames.
  • Lucky! It's too damn hot in California! Say hi to Flint! For you as well as for me. It'd be impolite to play Smash Bros. all day without saying hi first.
  • I concur on this point. It's just that your only forum participation prior to this thread was a small post in the Introductory Thread, almost as if you were fulfilling some bare minimum to start posting. It looked like fairly bad form to me. But since you say that was not the case, forget I ever brought it up. Spyro not…
  • Welcome to the forum and such, but did you register only to back up mjc?
  • mjc, what you're doing is not actually constructive as far as getting Spyro to learn how to compress an image. You're just yelling at him. If you genuinely want to help him, give him detailed instructions as to what he should be doing, instead of just getting cross when he gets it wrong. It genuinely sounds like he doesn't…
  • Not that the Wikipedia entry is on-topic in the context of this thread, but my hope is that if enough people contribute to the article's extensiveness, it will be seen as sufficiently notable to warrant its inclusion in Wikipedia. You can't have a WikiProject Webcomics without all the webcomics, can you?
  • That sure was some unwarranted ninja-bashing. Maybe if you were talking about ninja ants it would have made sense within the context of things.

  • Is that how you made those burgers at the July 4th barbecue? Because those were delicious with a capital "licious"!

  • mjc, could you stop it with the elitist JPG hating? It's coming off less like sound advice and more like really annoying.
  • Whoever he is, he wasn't in the comic, so I fail to see why the Ross Perot discussion is continuing in this thread. If you guys want to discuss who The Miscreant is, make a thread for it.
  • The movie list has been updated! I made sure that any movies Jon mentioned in the podcast will remain in their correct order, but we had a few films that needed a place in the list. Obsoive: Phil The Alien Westworld Freejack Farenheit 451 Tron Night Watch/Nochnoi Dozor Jurassic Park They aren't in that order though, so go…
  • Contestants usually get around such things by dunking the hot dog bun in water first.
  • I'll give you a hint: it's not Ross Perot. Or IS IT?!?!? No, it's not.
  • And since I refer to the characters as their current personas, I use the gender- and status-specific pronouns as they become appropriate. This also explains why I don't refer to The Miscreant by his true name.
  • Zelda-Blooper can't move. You're probably just confused because The Miscreant can move, and the camera tends to move to where the action is.
  • All's fair in duels. Besides, in 2D sidescrollers, line of sight has nothing to do with the ability to see your opponent. The only thing Sheik took advantage of was The Miscreant's being in the middle of a dart-blocking technique. He's simply using his natural abilities in combat (in this case, speed), as he would…
  • "It's just one... thin... mint."
  • For some reason, I have no qualms whatsoever with that assessment. Go Jon!
  • Actually, yes, I did put the original comics in the newer frame, in an attempt to reduce file size (in the early days, I knew little about web-friendly optimization), but I haven't gotten around to doing them all. I switched to the transparency-less layout at Episode 93 and haven't looked back since.
  • They make good distractions as a midair attack, which has less recovery time. Especially if you charge up the maximum strength 5-dart version, then hit the shield button so you can move around and attack normally, then hit the B button whenever you want to let them out.
  • Pencils used to contain lead. Only in modern times did they switch to graphite, presumably when the poisonous qualities of lead were better understood. So referring to them as lead is based on historical precedent and old habit. Speaking of food: I want some!

  • For the record, my comic's original name was "The Legend of Zelda: The Comic Strip" because it was the first Zelda sprite comic around, so I made it a subtitle like the video games. I don't remember when it was shortened to "Zelda Comic", but I think the fans did it. So it's their fault.
  • The orange smoke was lifted directly from Super Smash Bros. Melee, as are most of Sheik's abilities in Zelda Comic. I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. mjc0961, your misspelling of "Sheik" negates any grammatical or technical corrections you make on my comic for all time. Please don't be "Mr. Font" anymore. It's really…
