Thanks for the email.Yes, it’s been a busy time with all of the changes.
I have had to make changes re: size of TDS panels,size of typeface…scrunched a little now.
My work:
I have over 8000 comics, going back to 1997 and even further back, the genesis of TDS: Suburban Torture. I use a standard bunch of Penny scenes which I use regulary and of course new ones. most are the standard Penny rat wheel on which Burl and Joy exercise daily! I use several standard scenes for many of The Penny’s stomping grounds: ie: Kitchen, Living room , ,bedrooms outdoor scenes, doctor’s office, Burl’s u-stor-it, restaurants,car scenes, store scenes, etc. I used to redraw each comic scene of the Penny’ haunts but now we are accustomed to wear we can expect to run into The Pennys. I use the ‘scenes’ that pertain to the subject matter of the day.I just write new dialogue in these Penny scenes.
I do run some classics, reruns from the old days from when I was only in 20 newspapers. Back then many comics readers did not ever see TDS. 20 papers wasn’t much of an audience.I really want readers to see what they missed. Now readers can view TDS streaming on the internet, every day to thousands. I want my audience to see some of what they missed many years ago when only a handful of newspapers carried TDS.
I appreciate you and others who follow TDS and discuss their lives,foibles and irrational selfish behavior!
I will check with my syndicate re: image quality resolution. I will try to be more legible ; ) when cleaning up my comics before production and less background stuff in the panels.
I’ll Let you know the skinny with the resolution quality.Thank you and thanks to the readers who discuss TDS.
