Files types

Here's an idea...
If you've got a strip that needs the better color of a 24-bit PNG, use that, I doubt the backend would have trouble with that.
If you've got a panel that would, for whatever reason, look better with JPEG artifacts, save that panel only as a JPEG, and then copy and paste it back into a 24-bit PNG. Bam, JPEG artifacts on the panel you want them on, and none on the other panels.

Believe it or not, there are occasions when an inferior tool produces a superior result because it fails in a specific way that enhances the artistic effect, or does one specific thing better than an overall better tool.

Except it wouldn't. There is absolutely no conceivable way a JPEG can look "better than" a PNG because it is impossible to construct a JPEG that cannot be exactly duplicated as a PNG. The problem, for this comic even, is not PNG itself, it is the 8-bit palette-based aspect (using a png like a gif in other words). PNG itself is capable of so much more.

y'all are goddamn nerds.

Label accepted. I just didn't realize I was getting involved in some goddamn religious war. JPEGs must have must have attacked and pillaged some small third world nation in the past few years when I wasn't paying attention.

Never get involved in arguments about file types on the internet, man. Nobody wins.
