Have your pic taken with the Anarchy Boogeyman

Yeah, I think the indexing removes the ability to do eight-bit transparency.

I was wondering if it might be something about that. It doesn't seem to create that when there is a background color.

Landon, just to be on the safe side, I updated all the images in your store to not use that compression so they should be nice and clean now. I'll make a point not to use it in the future on anything with a transparent background which is most of the store items.

OK, this is a very minor problem that is easily addressed. When I'm generating images for web pages and such, they usually don't need to have transparency. In fact, not knowing what the background will be means they probably shouldn't. It's when printing on products where transparency can result in a much better final result, IMO. So this problem is easily addressed. I'll just create a white (usually) background for images I use and generate transparent backgrounds for products and not use the compression on images I upload to the store. Here's the compressed image of Landon's pic with a white background. Much smaller file but not noticeable loss of quality, IMO. It's also posted on my site as a sample of what people can have done at Porcfest.

I placed my order immediately after you made the store.

Oh ok. There must be a delay before I can see that an order went through. Honestly though, the only thing it should matter for is the mugs. I use a smaller image for those that's shaped for a mug so the image appears on both sides of the mug. All the other items like the shirts use a 3000 x 3000 resolution image, so detailed that it didn't even need to use anti-aliasing. I couldn't really see the effect in those images.

I would love to get my picture taken with the Anarchy Boogeyman.  But I've always been kind of afraid of those festival caricaturists.  I don't want to pay money to have my physical imperfections exaggerated for the amusement of others.    Can we pay extra for a cuteness guarantee?   

By the way...

I think its his phallic shape, skin color, and smooth skin.   

I'd made this observation, too, particularly his head and eyebrows.

Did you see the pic of Landon? He doesn't have that chest, not yet anyway. I'll probably make an idealized female body type too. It'll be kind of like that thing they have at the beach where you stick your head through a drawing on a big wooden board and get your picture taken.

It's like a salvia trip!

So, Mr. Party Hearty... where's my picture?     I hope I'm not being discriminated against for having a female torso; don't make me sic the ACLU on you.

I'm so sorry for being behind. I'm getting one more out-of-towner done before I start on the locals and yours is next in line. I had to stop briefly to get today's comic done. I had to go and switch to a twice a week schedule for some reason. Good news is it's the fastest I ever did a strip. I think I did it in less than two hours.

So, Mr. Party Hearty... where's my picture?   

I'm almost done.
