Hello I’m Seb. I love my partner and our lil doggy. We got the dog to replace our son who left. Can’t blame him, he grew up and doesn’t want us to tell him to do homework anymore. When I need to pay the bills, I’m a creative professional of 30+ years.
Wish I could switch to Affinity, Publisher just isn’t quite there yet in a print production environment.
@nimomycelium@lemmy.world thanks for posting to the community! Can you please remove the date from the title of your post. I add the date to my daily posts as it correlates directly to when they are posted on www.TheFarSide.com. If you know the original publish date of “cannibal cow” feel free to add that.
LOL same here! At least it’s Friday.
The down voters can go fly a kite ;) I don’t see them helping, just complaining.
Thanks Sugar for helping post. Last few days were a little hectic but should be back to normal posting now. I always do screen caps so it includes the text. Your way works fine but does require clicking and I’m guessing the scrollers were down voting because of that.
The cow makes this one.
Doh! Thanks for pointing that out.
The date is when it’s posted on thefarside.com not the original publish date.
Very welcome, glad you enjoy them.
No, the dates I put are when the comics are posted on The Far Side website.
They were too busy snorting toilet paper and getting relief loans.
I LOLed at this much harder than I expected.
Very welcome :)
It’s referencing a game called tetherball… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetherball
Very welcome and I’m in the same boat. Some I’m dying laughing, others get a chuckle and others I don’t get. I do appreciate the ones we don’t get as well, as someone usually chimes in with an explanation.
The date is when they’re posted on thefarside.com, not the original publish date. They post 5 on weekdays and 2 on weekend days and that’s what I post.
It took some work and sometimes we pay a little more but we cut Amazon out of our lives.
You guessed it with booklets or anything long format really.
As a 20+ year Adobe user, I tried switching about a year ago. Seems like the only way to give it proper go, was to dive in head first and force myself to exclusively use Affinity. Of course there’s a bit of a (frustrating) learning curve but overall it went pretty smooth. I genuinely thought I was going to make it work.
That was until I had to setup a 40 page catalog. Ran into various minor issues, but not insurmountable. IIRC the main issue that ultimately made me go back to InDesign was the handling of support assets and glitches as the catalog got more “heavy” with stuff.
I think I would have stuck with Affinity if I could go back and forth between Publisher/InDesign, but I couldn’t take what I started with and finish in the other app.
