It helps give it more of a normal 'comic-strip' feel to it. Although color is better, I understand real-life time constraints. Thank you... I think the black & white looks better.

I loved the coloring and think that you do have a good eye for color (its almost like you went to art school or something!!# :)) However, I love reading. I now check daily so I like it fresh and let my imagination do the work with the coloring. Dralothien was on point whit not working too hard. ...like im one to talk. But you get my drift. Lastly, I like it black and white rather than mono. Alright, i promise last statement: a client actually did this to me about 8 years ago!! It was so funny... reasons why i entered the design world and left IT behind... /ryan Hi Krishna, well, i thought i might chime in as well.

I do digitally color and shade (using Photoshop) - and it requires several more steps to properly prep the file before doing so... when PC Weenies was exclusively a single panel, color was not a problem - but I'm factoring in 4 panels instead of one per strip, and it does add up after a while.

What technique do you use to colour, by the way? Do you do it digitally? Note: I don't ask this as a challenge or anything. Just curious. Is colouring really that time consuming, Krishna?

You really have a good eye for color and you do it very well. I understand how life can make you busier that you would like, so I understand the need to save time where you can. keep up the good work and hopefully, one day (hopefully soon :-P), you can return to doing the full-color strips. --Dralothien P.S. Don't work too hard ;-) While I do like the mono-chromatic look of the newer strips, I do miss the colorization. You really have a good eye for color and you do it very well.
