(Had this sitting in my drafts for about a week… time to finish it up and push it out!)<\/p>\n

After setting up my Wacom Graphire tablet on my laptop (copy-pasting some xorg.conf<\/code> stuff) I decided to leave it on my bed. If I leave it on, with the Gimp (graphic application) open and the tablet plugged in, I will often do a little doodle before going to sleep. So these have been done while lying down, usually in (much) less than 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

One thing I really like about comics is the expression (often exaggerated) portrayed through the characters’ faces. <\/p>\n

This is something I don’t really have much practice with, so I started looking at some online comics that are good at it (and that I read): Penny Arcade<\/a>, Octopus Pie<\/a>, Butternutsquash<\/a>, C&H<\/a>… (Note: xkcd<\/a> is excellent but obviously doesn’t even use facial expressions.) <\/p>\n

And this will be a good test of wordpress’ new gallery functionality combined with my hacky theme: I present, doodle gallery<\/em>!!<\/p>\n
