On my endless quest to make a comic strip. I'm using Manga Studio here which as you can see I have not mastered yet. It does make beautiful lines but I cannot fathom out how to add text. I can get as far as choosing the font, the size, the spacing but when I type nothing happens. There's a nifty cross-hatching buton which evokes the smell of Indian ink and the scritch-scratch of a splattering pen...ink upto the knuckles however you held the blasted pen.

Weather alert of 39 degrees. The garden has basically...died. The carob tree dropping big, black beans. It feels like desert soup outside.
