Read the comic here.Yes, another WoZ quote. I'll be done with that little kick tomorrow.
I also wanted to add that drawing the "whisper bubbles" in today's strip was a total pain. Photoshop doesn't have an easy way to add a dotted-line border to things. On the other hand, there are some great quick-n-easy tutorials out there on the net for the workaround. (Basically you have to create a custom brush to do the dirty work.)
Chris, I've found that just using a noticeably smaller font size in a regular-size speech bubble (ie: more white space) successfully conveys the same effect as whisper/quiet speaking.

ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a good technique. I completely spaced on it when I got obsessed about the dotted-line thing.
I may go back and tweak the strip now...
gotta love that lolipop guild
ReplyDeleteI just love how Mary Sue's facial expression works in the last panel. It's like she totally approves of Bilbo's excuse. IMO it really adds to the punchline XD
