Okay, I want to make my own sprite comic series. My first series, "The Adventures Of Fox And Falco" is old, so I've decided to have a go at making a new sprite comic series. I'll be using MSPaint, because I don't have Photoshop, and I can't download the GIMP at the moment. I need help with speech bubbles and backgrounds. If anyone can help me, it'll be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help with speech bubbles, if you mean text and the bubble shape itself.
Can I read your other comic? :)

If I can find it, sure. I'm not sure if I ever posted it anyway. I did a stupid thing, and deleted them from the computer as soon as I made them. I've thought about re-making them, but I'm not sure if I should or not... I tried hosting them on DrunkDuck, but it wouldn't upload. I didn't even put them on deviantART!

Re-make old comics? Y/N

What's the comic going to be about? It sounds like a fun endeavor. And where can we read the old comic series?

I was thinking of making a FF related comic, like 8-Bit Theatre, but different. Or, I could remake my Star Fox comics. I haven't decided yet.

I recommend downloading "Paint .NET". It's free, it's almost as powerful as photoshop, it's much easier to use than Gimp, and it will be a lot more useful than MS Paint. I don't know the specific spite-based techniques, but I can help you with the program a little bit. I'm no genius though.
