I have read what everyone uses software wise so far, and have the software taken care of. But what pad/tablets do you use and or recommend? I have read a bunch of reviews, but most are vague. I was thinking of something along the size of 6x8, not the smallest but not the biggest. The large ones are a bit out of my price range at the moment. Any and all suggestions/advice would be most welcome!

This isn't too bad since my strip isn't in color and the only thing I use it for is to add the word balloons and lines. It still takes about an hour per strip though. I'm told Photoshop is better but I'm cheap too and don't have enough time to learn everything. Hopefully I can get a tablet or something at some point. We'll see.

I use adobe photoshop elements 6.0 for the mac. Its not an ideal program for cartooning in that I have to take the long way around to do very simple things. Even on a good day a comic that should take an hour or less takes me about and hour and a half to two hours. But then again I am cheap and I don't want to drop the cash on a better program, so there you have it. On the other side of the coin photoshop elements comes for free with just about every drawing pad ...

The answer is Adobe Photoshop CS2. As this site gets set up, I'll post tutorials on how to make life very simple when you're trying to make comics in Photoshop.
