Yasso Gerasimos! (That's all the polite Greek I know) First, good for you for diving in and creating your comic. My one observation is that your comic is formatted for print, and really a lot of work to read on a screen. The title block on every page pushes the comic out of view, so a reader has to ...

Flash may be the key

Hey there. Sounds like you might want to look into Flash. In Flash you can create a viewer that displays files from the server. Flash (actionscript) will let you capture key strokes (like the arrow keys). And you can do a bunch of other cool stuff, like allow the window / images to scale as the user...

Just to throw another application on the pile...

Macromedia Flash will convert bitmap to vector. You can export/ cut and paste the vector out to another program. Does a decent job, but, annoyingly, creates fill objects too. So, if you have a black circle, Flash creates a black outline and a white fill. But, it does a decent job. You can set tight ...

Hrm. I guess it's all definitional... Circa 1600 BC the Egyption Pharoh Rameses II built a temple to Isis. The temple had 110 columns on it and, on each column, was a progressively changed image of Isis. People on horseback riding by would percieve Isis moving. The Ancient Greeks would do the pot th...

Nothing wrong with print. I'd love to be printed. Being paid would be cool too!

Bully!

And how about: trolling the internet for references to 'atheism' and then making a post to a thread that's been buried since July is an escape route for the people in this world who want to believe that their actions are of any consequence.

Hey! Awesome!

Great comic Chris! Some really powerful images, great flow.

Great job!

And done BEFORE Tuesday! (Something I don't think I'm going to pull off with an election inspired comic.)

There is a long, strong, vibrant tradition of lifting sequences from prior work. I think the polite term is 'homage". (the truck scene from Raiders and the great stage scene from Stagecoach, for instance....) I used to be paralyzed by a fear that what I was planning or doing had been done, or, worse...

Speaking of references which are so interalized that others may not get them...
Yeah. Was going to write a paragraph about stuff, but thought the comic was usable as is.
Also, nice likeness of Jakob Nielsen.
Thanks!
