Talking of upping the stakes. Don't know when I had time to build a snow cannon but it seemed to do the job it was built for.
This particular comic was a learning lesson for me. I should either cut down the amount of text I use or increase the size of the word balloons to fit the dialog. It messes with the readers too much if I keep changing the size of the text from one panel to another. Bad me!
Still, knowlege is power and I can learn from my mistakes.
