Is there anyway that we could have like a squiggly line option, or just someone could make a background that's squiggly around the outsides so that we could have a dream sequence, or a memory, or a "This is what I want to happen, though in the next panel I will do the exact opposite" panel? Can someone figure something out? I know it may not work with a background, because the panels don't exactly stretch the backgrounds, which is why we can see the castle and the ship and the stairs... so... help?

You could trim one of the cloud backgrounds to make it a squiggly line of clouds with just white space (or some plain color) in the middle. This is what they often do in tv shows, but with fog.

For now though you could just use clouds 1 or 2. I"m sure people would catch on to the convention. If they don't, add a narrative box.

You know a background I'd REALLY like to see is a gigantic tv screen that takes up the whole frame. Then you could cut away from the tv prop and watch what's on the tv. Maybe add a couple different background scenes on the tv, so when you add characters to the panel, they're in a game show, soap opera, porn, whatever. (You could do the same sorta thing with the pc prop.)

This would be a great application of my "foregrounds" suggestion from a while ago.

This would probably be about the easiest way to do foreground pics since you could just do borders. Make the tv a border, keep everything else the same.

I don't know how hard that is with php though. I do know that just adding a couple backgrounds would be pretty easy, meaning we'd get them soon.

You'd probably do it with CSS positioning, not PHP. But it doesn't matter, because I don't think Brad wants to do it, anyway.

It always strikes me as strange when people say "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". It looks like it should rhyme with "moo".

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" is better?

"noo" rhymes with "moo" like Jesus DeJesus wrote as the closing in his letters to the Nigerians.

Did I hit on some painful childhod memory?

"I came home early and caught mom and narrative box in dad's bed!"
