Gotta love those PDFs
You know, I used to tell people that after I finished my Daisy Dreamer script for the month, I would have no idea what the finished comic was going to look like. Several months later, it would arrive in my mailbox, and that was the first time I would see it.
No more!
Thanks to PDF files, I now regularly get to see the comics before they go to print. This is fun, and it also helps work out any little problems that might exist between the artwork and the text (something that almost never happens -- but it can).
Still, there's nothing quite like getting my hands on the paper copy, printed in the magazine, when it comes out. Even after six years, it's still a thrill.
