Okay, I gotta get me a tablet now. I've been wanting to start honing my skills to color sequential work. I just hope that Paint Shop Pro works with the Graphire3 (on sale at Best Buy for $99) as that's my graphics program of choice. Can't afford Adobe and PSP is what we use at work plus CostCo sells the full version for under $80.

PSP will work with a Graphire tablet. The tablet and pen basically replace your mouse as your pointing device, so you can use it with just about any program you would normally use a mouse for.
I'll warn you now that getting used to the tablet takes a little time. I didn't like it at first, and there's still some things that I don't use it for, but for brush work, shading and blending and the like I can't live without it now!
If you haven't used a tablet before I'd suggest hooking it up and then putting your mouse in the desk drawer for about a week. Just use the pen to do everything that you would normally do with your mouse. Use it while you web browse, use it with PSP, use it to check your email. Do everything you would normally do with your mouse but do it using the pen. That'll help you get used to the way the pen works, what it's good for and what it really isn't good for. By the end of the week you'll be comfortable enough with it that it will be second nature to use it for PSP or whatever you plan to use it for.
Working with the tablet is easier for me because I'm left handed, but use a mouse right handed. With the tablet I can draw with the pen in my left hand, and that gives me a lot more control over my lines than pushing the mouse with my right does.
BTW, from what I hear PSP is every bit as good as Adobe Photoshop, so as far as that goes you certainly won't be suffering from an inferior program if you use PSP. Hell, at $80.00 for the full version I might even consider picking it up and trying it out for myself.

It's a difficult process, first I have to get Sara to get off her lazyy ass and draw the pics (I do the writing) and then I would ask you to color them for me, of course I would give you a blank sketch and a pencil colored sketch.

Yeah, let me know when you've got something together and I'll give it a crack. I've got to warn you though that I work pretty slow on stuff like this, so it might take me awhile to finish something for you, but I'll be happy to try.

Sweets for a sweet couple, dude. I've been a Jan-and-Shvaughn partisan from way back, and much more could have been done with them before the TMK mudslide *sigh*
