for some reason, when I try to make a comic with certain symbols (- $ # % etc) it won't make the comic.

It looks like you're using symbols that are commonly used in CGI script activations, therefore messing with the Script's head! How may I help?

How do I get cymbals into my comics? I need a few rimshots to punch up the gags.

Yer maw wants a rimshot.

This bug report just in: my crotch hasn't itched in hours.

you're the man.

I wouldn't be so sure...
