When I was a kid, I'd grab typing paper (or buy some -- my mom charged me half a penny for each sheet as we had plenty of scratch paper and typing paper cost money)and off I'd go, careful not to use markers that bled through the page.
Flash forward to now and, hey, computers are fun to do comics with but there is lots of grunt work involved. For this single page, I drew the pictures and colored them (the fun part) and then I used Word to size 'em and add the word balloons and dialogue. THEN I had to save the panels individually as PDFs so that I could use Photoshop Elements to collect and arrange each of the panels on a page, drop in a black background and publish it.
I admit I am not the most computer savvy, especially in using my PC for this sorta thing, so if you have any tips as how I can remove a step or two from the above process, your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff, scan the pen drawings and open in Photoshop. Color on a new layer below pen drawings,like painting back of animation cells. Copy and paste drawings in new psd, and then resize them.
