I liked the second half of today's strip so much, I made it into a wallpaper... Go to the new extras page for a variety of versions.
Suggestions for future special stuff: make 'em here!

Cups.
Cups that heat up and show stuff.

It is a very cool second half of strip. I am ashamed to have to ask, but how do I know what version of the wallpaper I want? I don't know computers, I just sit in front of them.

That's some nice wallpaper, really captures the feel of the comic.

Well, I only did two sizes... the .png ones, on the right, are higher quality, but I have no idea whether you can set them as wallpapers straight off the bat... You might have to save them and change them to bitmaps (standard Windows format). If that sounds like too much hard work, try the .jpgs on the left. 1024x768 is screen resolution. Try the bigger one first, if you lose stuff when you set it as wallpaper, download the smaller one.
They're not huge files, I hope. I would've put bitmaps up for the smoothness and crispness ratio, but they were much of a hugeness.
Guess you'll have to wait for the book for perfect repro...

Right:
Right click on your desktop and go to properties. In the window that magically appears, choose the settings tab.
At the bottom left it'll tell you the screen resolution. Pick the wallpaper thats the same.

Yay for a simpler explanation...

Yeah, my secret is out... I can quibble file extensions with the best of them. Six years of fiddling around in Paint Shop Pro will do that to a lad.
And books... We'll see. I think I need a house to mortgage before I can actually mortgage it, so tiny little steps at first. Maybe a small print run sold on pre-orders.... We'll see what kind of great content I have when this first story comes to a finish.

I would be very excited books to have. Very books to have.
Doing preorders would probably work, but it might scare folk off if they had to pay before the books were printed, but if they don't prepay, it will still be costly. A right dilemma.
Also, guppy, why wouldn't you want to send drug-cake? I know post men absolutely love finding that stuff.
