fun with edits, yuki usagis and PDFs

you can’t tell that i really haven’t felt like blogging for the past month or so, can’t you? :P

a few things of note since my MT rant… im still working on the content, so there won’t be a MT comic for monday. Hopefully i can post a DPD of some sort, i have a few things i can use. I’m getting there, hopefully by the end of today i can burn thru a big chunk of what is left. Another thing i’ve done is change my decision about editing comic 763. After reviewing a lot of the feedback, and talking it over with several friends, i decided that the change brings more attention to the original error than the revision fixes. The final revision isn’t too much different than the original, and i probably won’t change the online version. You can review the final change here (and yes, i know there is a word bubble missing in frame 4, it has already been fixed).

What else is up? Plenty. I’ve actually managed to gradually catch up with Kanon again (i was about four weeks behind) and this morning i watched ep 21. Now we’re starting to get into Nayuki’s scenario, which i feel like i’ve been waiting a long time to see. So far, this has been an excellent series, even though there are a few things that i think were more dramatically handled in the first series (KyoAni seems to err on the side of subtlety, while Toei went for a more dramatic turn). Ayu’s disappearance, Mai’s trepidation in the hospital waiting room hugging the stuffed toy and Makoto’s functional breakdown to me were more moving and dramatic in the Toei version (dramatic perhaps not being better, they were just different and i always liked those elements of the Toei version - but those were the only things i really liked about that version anyway :)

Oh, and i did get sucked into one more PVC figure. Meh. That’s the last one for a while, but i just couldn’t pass on a nice Nayuki figure :)

One other thing before i go back to work - anyone here familiar with or have any experience with Adobe Acrobat? I’ve been trying to figure out how to do something, and i can’t seem to find a solution. I’ve posted about it here, but so far no replies. If anyone knows of a solution for this, please let me know :)
