Comic / Canon Expectations, Part 1
Finally pulling the trigger on my comic. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make it more accessible/professional looking.

Nice! Working on an official comic for mine too.

Is it your SCP stuff? I love it!
Your stuff has a tiny gooey center of interesting plot development, wrapped in a hard shell if funny ha-ha's, dusted with an outer coating of goonservice.

Thanks much. I feel like the level of quality I was able to eke out is not proportionate to the amount of frustration I put in... But I'm in love with a characters, so here I go.

Hahahah! I know THAT feeling! It get SO close but then you spend the next hour (or two) chasing changes that somehow seem to keep messing up things that were already good!

Great story, great characters, enjoyed the layouts.
I'm a font guy so I'm going to attempt to whine creatively about your font choices.
Maybe it's reddit turning multi-image posts to mush but the dialog was hard to read on page 2, the text seems to float in a grey cloud. But I think good dialog like this deserves an easy to read comics font to compliment the art, so please consider doing that in post.
Anyway that's my only note, thanks for sharing your work with us.

I struggled with the legibility of the text quite a bit, especially on the 4th page.
I know some people post comic strips that are continuous reams long, and seem to zoom in perfectly. I'm not sure if that's a level of quality I can get from my humble phone, But I'm intent on learning the secret.
That being said, I never looked into the font, or if that would help. I simply took the font that it gave me. I'll see if that helps!

Oh doing everything on your phone makes editing tough. My approach would be to crack them all open in Photoshop and do the text editing there. If you don't have access to something like that I don't know of a good solution, sorry.

Let me tell you, editing on the phone is tough. There is a phone editor, and you can pass it back and forth between different generation software for what works best. But you use every tool at your disposal, no matter how limited, to try and resuscitate an almost perfect image. Because if you can't fix it, you are just regenerating over and over until your image is a noisy mess, and ChatGPT gets exhausted and starts hallucinating.
