So here's what I'm thinking:
I'm an old-school fan of sprite comics for a number of reasons. They're the everyman's comics in that anyone with MS Paint and a little know-how can make them with minimal difficulty, drawing skills not required. They're also an excellent way for forums and their members to have fun and express themselves, creating a community dynamic that's also an easy way to interest outsiders in joining. Thus, the idea of a Final Mix sprite comic has been bouncing around in my head for a while now. The trick, of course, was that not everybody's good at editing sprites just like not everyone's good at drawing. So, to make the comic something that everyone would have access to, I decided to search out a very simple, easy to edit sprite template.
Enter the Breeze Revolution, a style of sprite that is very SD, or "chibi", in its look. Big heads and small bodies means adding clothes and other details is over-simplified and easy to do, meaning anyone with MS Paint or an equivalent program can make comics and edit sprites for themselves and their RP characters! Alternately, there's GiMP, which is a free alternative to Photoshop.
That's not to say I won't contribute towards this goal. The Sprites & Such Store is open for business, as ever, so anyone who wants character sprites made for them can get them for just a few Munny there! Plus, any orders for Breeze-style sprites in the month of May will be TOTALLY FREE!
My hopes? That everyone will be able to enjoy the comics I make, and join in contributing some of their own! These are just meant to be funny, light-hearted frivolity -- though I won't rule out a separate plot-oriented comic, if anyone has a good idea for one.

COMIC TEMPLATE: [CLICK HERE]
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Where it says "This comic features:" down at the bottom, be sure to list the characters who appear in your comic and any necessary credits (for instance, "All Kingdom Hearts characters are (c) Square-Enix and Disney")
- Need more panels? Easy! Just make copies of the lower two panels and you can extend the comic as much as you need. Just don't forget to leave the credits section at the end.
- You can store sprite sheets for your character on Photobucket or other places. If you have any trouble, just PM me and I'll help you through it.
