I'd say go with the thin outlines and typed text. Makes it much more comprehenable. Nice.

Okay. The age of the thin outlines has begun!

Ooh, funny ones! I like the variable width thick outlines on the first one best! Though the thin one looks pretty good too. I like the font on the first one better for looks, only it is not so legible. I have a good comic lettering font if you want.

P.S. I loves thems eyeez

The font in the first one is from when I traced the picture in flash AFTER adding the text. :P

Thankyou for your offer of a comic font, I was in need of one and now I don't have to find one myself on BlamBot. Yay!

I love the eyes too. :)

I think these are the ones, normal bold and italics. Now you can letter like a pro!

I quite doubt anyone reading those will be looking at the lettering. ;)

Thankies for the font. I shall get to my pro-lettering right way. :)

Nice new one Eggie! More unwarranted suggestions on lettering -

- it would look better if you use different fonts for sounds effects than for the speech balloons (like the AARRRRGGHH)
- it looks much better to leave a uniform and fair amount of space around the words (between the words and speech balloon)
