I uploaded this page as a gif which is much higher res than the web jpg, but lower than the regular jpg. We’ll see if this has any effect on the cpu load. Something tells me it won’t. I also think it looks good. Any comments?
To ease the load on the current server, until we have solved this problem (and it won’t be much longer), I will not upload any other graphics except for our daily comics installment. No sketches, illustrations or photos for a few more days.
I will continue to load articles.
And since I just lost a freaking huge load of work to trying to deal with this cpu problem, as well as over a week to sick time, I need to get back to Gone to Amerikay right away. I need a few days off from posting anything new except for comic pages.
Today’s webcomic was brought to you by Bonnie Vitti whose patronage of A Distant Soil has provided four days of web support. Thank you, gracious Patroness!!!

I don’t see any real improvement from the low res jpegs. A tad sharper, perhaps, but not significantly so.
I agree.
Also, the low res pages have a halo effect around every word. I cannot read them very well.
I should be able to reload all of the pages at their original resolutions within the next day or so. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.
