Comic Life packs a lot of 'Brawn'!
Cranium Comics has recently launched their first four color comic, Brawn #1.

"I used Comic Life on my Mac exclusively to lay out the storyboards, then later when I created and colored all 24 pages of the issue," recounted Anthony Rezendes, the owner of Cranium Comics and co-creator of Brawn.

The comic 'Brawn' focuses on a dockworker named Sam Ross who was reborn as the hero "Brawn" after he was nearly killed in a drunk driving accident.

"Being an illustrator, it saved me quite a bit of time from having to lay all the text bubbles out manually. It made the process of actually creating the comic that much more enjoyable," Mr. Rezendes added.

We think this comic is great! So check out 'Brawn' on the Cranium Comics site or read the first 5 pages on our Comic Life gallery.

 system hungry skitch - 2008/05/09 02:47 hello everybody!
and to the people at plasq keep up the good work!

after a recent update, skitch has become more and more hungry of system resources... i have skitch running all the time, and this has never happened before.

i've had to restart twice, and been watching iStat pro 'say' that skitch has 270%, 385% of system resources and sometimes more....

any guesses?
i have a macpro quad 3.0 with 5Gb RAM with the leopard updated to 10.5.2

cheers,

Dave

 Re:system hungry skitch - 2008/05/17 06:06 Hi David,

Thanks for the kind words (and sorry about the slow reply!)

Skitch uses RAM to cache it's undo history, and if you're taking full screen shots, this can mean a reasonable amount of RAM. We did not adjust the way Skitch works with the CPU or RAM in the most recent update.. but we'll definitely look into it.

The Apple 'Activity Monitor' is often a useful source of info -- as you can see Skitch uses a little background CPU when running and we're looking into reducing that.

Have you started using Time Machine recently or anything similar?
