Another Blikada Page!

Last one, knowing me. Head to the Comics section for a gander.

These pages just keep getting huger, don't they? Sorry about that. Really. Those of you still on dial-up must be really feeling the burn. I'd use PNGs instead of GIFs, but I'm still not convinced they're universally supported. Ack.

To answer a few questions, though: I'm not really planning on coloring this comic. The real attraction of it for me (other than stretching my nerdy little world-building muscles) is how quickly I can get the pages done. Color would add another day to the production. Blikada's just a goofy afterthought in comparison to my other stuff, and doesn't really merit it. Not yet, anyway. Sorry, Zack.

And don't worry, I am going somewhere with this. It's not another Sparkneedle. I wouldn't do that to you guys.

PNGs are universally supported by any browser over 4.0.

However, IE doesn't support stuff like translucency and stuff, but like you'd use that for a comic.

Your stuff looks beautiful in graphite, Spike. A lot more textural and full than your ink work, which is fun and graphic but very *SMACK!*

In short, I want more of this. OBEY

Thanks for the comments, you guys.

Dylan, you sound exactly like Matt. Half the reason I even bothered with this strip is because he was all "I wish you'd do something in just pencils!" all the time, and he's kind of notorious for knowing my strengths and weaknesses better than I do. If he's urging me to do something, he's probably onto something.

And Rich, I'll upload a PNG next week, see how it works out. These pages are probably only gonna get more complicated, and I'd rather stay on this side of the 200 kb divide...
