Too Far

PEEP this STREET typeface homies! PEEP IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! The Blambot "Web-Letterer" font was awesome, but it was getting me down. It's just too wide. I can't fit all the snappy dialogue I'm wanting to, because there's not enough space. Brevity is just fine for NEWSPAPER comics, but I'm digital here, I say MAKE IT WORDY. But yeah. Web-letterer was making my speech balloons too wide, which was causing them to float pretty far over the edge of the panel, which was making the strips themselves too wide for people with tiny monitors. While it should be noted that these folks are losers, I still want their readership.

Also, I tried doing this one in PNG format, because a friend just sort of suggested that it might be a good idea. I don't really know how they stack up with JPEGs as far as size is concerned, but heck, it's better quality, right? I figure that while I'm making things easier for losers with small monitors, I might as well simultaneously make things harder on the losers with slow connections. Life is good, but only for me!
