Tools
editThe strip has used Toon Boom tools since inception. Comic Book (version 1) was originally used to create the panels. They were saved in a PNG format. Imagemagick was then used to convert the panels into a single PNG file. The processing uses Peter Miller's cook program to automate the process.
Currently, the panels are drawn using the base version of Toon Boom's Animate 2.
