The first edition of Linux Voice has landed on my doorstep.
And there, at the bottom of the Letters page, is our first Elvie comic.
In keeping with the aims of the magazine, our Elvie strips are under a Creative Commons BY-SA license. We will also be posting them on this site a couple of months after they appear in the magazine (but we’ll also post occasional non-magazine strips in-between). As with our Greys comics, we intend to release the source files so you can tweak the comics to suit your own needs — or just dig around to see how we put them together.
Huge congratulations to the Linux Voice team for issue 1. We’re already working on the next Elvie strip for issue 2…
But really, why Adobe? What Scribus missing now?
You’d have to ask the editor about that – we just do the comic strip.
I think it’s probably more about the general workflow and familiarity than any specific missing functionality. Trying to start a new commercial quality magazine in a short space of time doesn’t really lend itself to learning new software or trying to produce print-ready artwork that the printing company will be happy with.
