After typing out the words normally, I hit the arrow tool and went close to the corner of the text box. The arrow turns to a curved double-arrow tool, which allows me to rotate the text box a bit. <BR/><BR/>Matthew E: I was under the impression that it was supposed to be 30 seconds to <I>read</I>, not write and draw. But, you know, I'm like the Flash with crayons :).<BR/><BR/>Steven: I'm glad someone mentioned that. That's my second-favorite gag in the strip (right after the Hemi joke). Also, it shoots Nerf balls. <BR/><BR/>Rich: Oh man, if you want <I>details</I>, it'd be the 30-<I>hour</I> recap. "So, Supergirl, who was a shape-shifting superpowered clone of Lana Lang created by a pocket universe Lex Luthor was dating our universe's Lex Luthor II, who was actually a clone of the original Luthor, with the original Luthor's brain, posing as his own Australian-raised son after faking his death...Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-4584977582496374122008-01-07T14:29:00.000-06:002008-01-07T14:29:00.000-06:00Was just talking about this whole incident the oth...Was just talking about this whole incident the other day with somebody and couldn't remember some details.
