    right click on the image and click on "properties"

    This week's is 750x376. I'm sure they vary slightly. Also, the term is "resolution," FYI.

    Does Gabe use lots of Copy Paste? Does he have a character generator? There are several times where characers bodies just stay exactly the same and all that moves are mouths and occasionally arms.

    Almost looks like it could be a flash cartoon.

    the comics are drawn at a much higher resolution in creation for detail, and then shrunk down for internet consumers like you and I. Think huge.

    As far as I know, he draws everything on paper and then inks and colors it in Photoshop. This leads me to believe that he probably doesn't copy/paste too much.

    The copy/paste effect is really only evident in the early years of PA. At a guess, I'd say that after Mike got his Tablet PC and later the Wacom tablet, he had more freedom in the design and layout of the strip.

    He draws by hand and fills it in. Occasionally he will post sped up videos of the process. He used to draw on paper, scan the image, and then fill in the colors on the computer. Now he mostly uses a tablet to draw and then fills in the colors.

    edit: the only video I could find was of gave inking an already drawn image of boba fett. I know there is at least one other video of him drawing a frame of the comic from the beginning, though.

    The best I can do for now is this where gabe just talks about the process a little uner the header "I love salvage".
