I should have resized the Pawn shop more. The problem is I do each frame seperately and don't use "Temp" folders (maybe I should use a template when making comix?), so I don't know the actual size of things. Also, the Earthbound backgrounds (and sprites) are taken from an EB ripping package called "weirdomaker" from Starmen.net, so they're sized differently as supposed to my other ones (they're ripped). What I do when I resize an image is I make a perfect square, so that way the dimensional proportionality doesn't change. I have no plans on going around and making crazy edits to sprite sizes (because it would take too long and I have no time).

I will put lines between the frames, thanks for the suggestion.

My other main concern is the readability of the text. I don't like text boxes, as they tend to get in the way (and I've read how people lampoon bad text box usage). Once I get an NES emulator (which will take a LONG time considering my college knows how many bits each download is, and whenever there's a big change, they assume you're downloading a movie and they jump down your throat for a year. I've had a friend who that happens to, and it's really unpleasant), I will use clean backgrounds, but I like the Final Fantasy battle backgrounds and the Earthbound ones as they give a 3-D feel to the comix (and the Earthbound ones (no, not the Earthbound Ones, the Earthbound ones

) are relatively clean). Besides, you say not to mix up bittages.
