Ok, all you gawkers it ain't what you think, "Move along people, Nothing to see here" (In my best Chief Wiggum voice).
What drawing / illustrating packages you you use for the critter strip and your other works of art?
I use the Adobe suite (CS3, 5, 6) but I am getting frustrated with Adobe's well know "quirkiness".
(It doesn't help that I am ordinary using a pencil, so my tablet work sux...)
Regards
Rabz the soon to be unemployed.
Edit: You know, for someone who writes stuff for a living I should be able to spell better...

My package has been displaying some quirkiness as well lately.

Absolutely nothing fancy.
A 15+ year old image editing software
that came packaged with an old version
of IBM's Websphere Studio.
It is no longer sold or supported by IBM.
It's got great features for software that old,
and its fairly feature rich,
but it doesn't come close to Adobe's software.
For better or worse I'm stuck with using it
for the BN Critters because I have thousands
of files saved with the IBM Websphere
proprietary file format (files have a .mif extension)
that no other image editor can open.
One of these days I'll break down and get something nicer,
but it still does most of what I need to do when
I edit files.

Thanks mate.
I guess that I should HTFU, improve my skills and stop whining about the tools!

Talking about his package is not appropriate on this forum.

Wasn't at the wedding but I can confirm that the Batman attire leaves little to the imagination.
