So far On this comic, I've seen at least 10-15 comic's that have the textboxes in odd places, all I want to say is:
WOULD YOU PLACE THEM FROM TOP LEFT TO BOTTOM RIGHT?! People tend to read comics(non-manga) from the topleft of the panel to the right, so if you put the begining phrase of a panel in the topright corner and the second phrase right under it. It's not going to work. make space if you have to.
I don't want to sound like a jack ass but seriously...if it's anything that bugs me about comics, it's the text placing. It's annoying really. I'd mention some of the people who've done it, but Alas, I'm stuck with dial up and don't have the time to go through the entire archive again. I'll probably list some other problems but I'll only impose one at a time.

I'll side with you on this. Text placing bugs me too. Hopefully when I put up a link to the comic, everyone else will see this.

I try to arrange things so that the first thing that's said in a panel is on top of everything else. >>

Thank you Darkside, I hate it when people do that. I learned that from bad text-placings in my very old comics. It bugged myself when I read them. So that only lasted a comic or two.
EDIT: Also when people use like 2 rows of panels for their transformation or warping. You don't need to use every sprite in the animation!

Yeah but a majority only have a basic program to make comics. Though, I do agree with the emotion part.

Meh... shouldn't use emoticons in a comic....
unless you're talking about emotions in the wake of facial expressions on the sprite itself...
I guess I'm just a little confused.

It's hard to do on my character since his mouth is hidden by the cloak. So I have to do most of that stuff with his eyes, which as Low pointed out last night, is hard.
