--- Quote from: Akima on 30 Dec 2010, 03:25 ---I think Faye throwing Pintsize across the room is the highlight of this strip. She's discovered the ethical alternative to dwarf-tossing.

Not only tthat, but her expression when she does it - in one glance you get the whole of "Oh for fuck's sake, Pintsize, not now!"
In fact, all the expressions are great. I think I'm also wondering how Marten knew exactly what Pintsize was doing... those two are more closely connected than it seems...
Also, from Jeph's twitter; "PLZ no complaining about the font, it's just temporary and I'll change it tomorrow #jeez"

--- Quote from: akronnick on 30 Dec 2010, 01:39 ---I assume the 'bloat' Akima referred to is what is commonly called 'feature creep.'
All a skilled photographer really needs is a way to control aperture and shutter speed, a built in meter, and a way to tell if the image is in focus.
Most of the SLR's that are sold today, digital or otherwise, have so many metering modes and other settings that most users have no idea when to use what.

Skilled is the key word here. My experience as an unskilled camera-user is that a lot of the features are there to cater for the (rare) occasions, where automation fails. Such as the need to use a fill-flash, autoexposure lock, or off-center point of focus. Undoubtedly a skilled photographer gets better results by setting everything manually.
I bought my first autoeverything camera a few months before my son was born (you saw this coming, din't ya). Then I learned the hard way that there are these well documented easily identifiable situations, where the automatic mode of operation is inadequate. The problem was, of course, that my camera didn't have the necessary features to remedy these problematic cases.
So when the time to upgrade came, I knew what I wanted. My current (still analogue!) camera has all the features I can ask, and all these built-in programs for scenic shots, night-time.... Unfortunately the kid's growing at a slower pace now, so I haven't really had the need to learn about all these features :roll:
Is this horse dead, yet? I apologize for the attempt to beat some life into it.

Oh, by the way, we've figured something out:
Faye's left-handed.

I presume the font is because this is the first outing of Jeph's new computer, and there are a few things not set up as he likes yet.
