#1577 – Civil War

There are entirely too many things wrong with Trump’s statements on the Civil War.  The nonsense about Andrew Jackson (that genocidal ass), the whole “why did the Civil War happen?” idiocy is just…well, idiocy.

On the other hand, it does make me feel like my job is apparently of absolutely no value, since we’re all just making up our own history now I guess.

#1575 – I May Never Learn

This is the first comic created with my new comic-making setup!  I went and got a Surface Pro 3 and I’m using Clip Studio Pro (what used to be called Manga Studio).  I like the variety of brushes and pencils, and it feels very natural to draw on.  Plus, unlike when I was using the old Sketchbook Pro app on my iPad (an app the publisher was no longer supporting and that wouldn’t be available come this fall when the new version of iOS came out), I can create a custom size canvas and add text directly to the comic in the app (instead of using three – three – apps to accomplish all this before).

I also took the opportunity to try out a new font.  Do you like it?  Is it easy to read?  Could I make it smaller?  Is the comic itself big enough?  Too big?  Tell me what you think!

#1573 – Faces

I’m terrible at recognizing people in shows we watch, even though there’s only, like, ten actors in everything from the BBC that we watch.
