Even if you can't afford Photoshop (hint: find someone you know who qualifies for a student discount), here are the links to Paint.NET and GIMP again. Blambot font for editing PA strips is available, though it's not free. The cheap-but-slow method of authenticity is to cut-and-paste letters, but make sure you get them lined up well, not wobbly.
"But wait!", you may interject. "Someone else will make a funny comic edit and mine will look like poo! I'd better not even try." To this I point out that this is not Wargames; the only losing move is not to play. Dozens of others gave it a try last thread, and compiled a vast number of edits that brought delight to all. So many, in fact, that we got a whole bunch of magnets and attached all their edits to a colossal fridge door:
Actually, we couldn't afford to buy a fridge big enough for all the artworks, so we just glued them to the back wall of the thread:
The game of Comic Edit is completely freestyle.
As long as it's an edit and not breaking forum rules, go for it.

As if anyone has ever recognised your artistic capabilities before you delusional cerulean hobo
This has to be one of my favorite, and evidence that you don't need photoshop skills to make a great edit.
Also I like how Sabre had to go into QC territory to find a SFW edit from Chico.
Sabre for best OPs of 2010!
Jokes probably already been made but..Ehhh
In many ways, the work of an Awesome Post voter is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.
But the bitter truth we voters must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our star rating designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talents, new creations. The new needs friends.
Last night, I experienced something new; an extraordinary edit from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the edit and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about quality editing, is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for SabreMau's famous motto, "Anyone can make a comic edit, seriously, I'm not joking". But I realize - only now do I truly understand what he meant.
Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now labouring away in SE++ who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest poster in the forum. I will be returning to SabreMau's soon, hungry for more.

EDIT: And can someone walk me through getting the Blambot look-alike text to show up in the font menu on Paint.Net?
It's full of [strike]stars[/strike] edits.
Sabre, you're still the best
That being said, I bet one of the more talented personas likely have a better idea for the pasted scenes.
I promise that if I ever do this again it'll be better.
Not to mention I'm hoping the image itself posts properly (first imageshack account usage ever woo)
