For the past few years I've had a monthly one-page comic in the Dutch ESL learners' magazine Hello You!. This year, they wanted to tweak the formula a bit, and as a result of the frenzied negotiations that followed after they finally got around to telling me this (just days before script deadline), I ended up as my own colorist after four years of the comic being colored by Marjorie van Doorn. I'm happy with this because it gives me more control over the look of the finished product, but also kind of nervous, because I'm not used to working with Photoshop! I've done lots of work in color, but always for the Web, in Paint Shop Pro, so working in PS and for print is new to me. This is my first attempt, which I will email to the magazine tomorrow. Let's see what they think and if they can work with the material (the files I'll send them are two files of line art at 900 DPI and two of only the color layers at 300 DPI).

I can't give you the dialogue, BTW. That would put me firmly in breach of contract territory, which is not good territory to be in.
