Now you don't even know your percentages. 600% is not the same thing
as 600 times.

The hardest part of making a web comic is to get good ideas.

Actually, the hardest part of making a comic (web or not) is to get good
ideas. I don't imagine that the medium makes it any easier or harder.

You can get a tablet PC that's got a touchscreen (wacom graphics tablet)
built into the screen. I have one. It's very nice.

Yep, 600% was what he said ... I've been watching the video.
After watching the first video, I noticed a few things
* This is actually pretty bare-bones photoshop usage. He uses all
brushes, layers, and an occasional scale operation, nothing too fancy.
* The swatches file is a very nice trick :)
* It amazes me how he seems to get it right the first time.

After the second video:
* Another neat trick, having a file with various facial features at the
ready.
* Aagain, pretty basic photoshopping.. Setting the text, and using the
layer blending attributes... The thing I didn't know you could do was
warp the text like that ... I'll have to play, now. :D
