Reading a comic is great.

Making a comic?  Even better.

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Radical Comic Designer 2.0 for Linux and Windows.

For the uninitiated: Just what is Radical Comic Designer?

Radical Comic Designer is a super easy to use application that lets you take any pictures you have laying around and, quickly, create your own Comic Strips or even full Comic Books.

Here’s a quick run-down on what’s new in 2.0:

• For the Windows version: Full Windows 7 support.
• Refreshed look and feel (including a new application icon).
• Improved rendering of some of the objects (including cleaner Speech Bubble lines).
• Additional contextual (right click) menu’s to make working with your comics easier.
• A new Help system with a tutorial on how to get the most out of Radical Comic Designer.
• An updated toolbar.
• Bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes!

The mantra for this release was simple: “Make it look nicer and run better.”  And I am pleased with the result.

And, of course, this is a free upgrade for all registered Radical Comic Designer users.

If you haven’t picked up a copy for yourself yet, you can do so over at the Radical Breeze Online Store for $10.

Only 10 bucks.  Think about that.  Even if you only make 5 little comic strips… the total cost per comic is already down to 2 dollars.  This is what I call a good “Dollar to Comic ratio”.

And, for those who may not be aware, there is also Radical Comic Designer… for Windows Mobile.  So you can get your Comic-designing done while you are out on the town.

Plus: If you buy a license for Radical Comic Designer… you can use it on any supported platform.  Windows.  Linux.  Windows Mobile.  One license covers them all.
