Is my comic text too small/blurry?

[Buritsu]

Hello! I'd love some opinions on this! I draw pages in PaintTool SAI and I also resize the image in SAI... and because Tapas needs pages to be quite small (width) I end up reducing the resolution quite a bit, and it makes me worry that the text turns out too small and hard to read. But I also might just be paranoid because my laptop doesn't have the best screen quality so maybe it's just me... If you have time to check my pages and give feedback on the text size/quality, my comic is here: !!

Please tell me if you think the text/ speech bubbles are fine or should be changed. I was thinking about just making the text a bit bigger, or trying to resize in Photoshop to maybe retain the quality a bit better. Any thoughts?

P.S this question is about the text quality, not the font xD it may be odd to use a serif font but.... I kinda want to ^^;

Quality-wise looks fine on both pc/mobile.

Size on PC is good, but it's maybe a tad small on mobile. Far from unreadable, but could maybe be a smidge larger?

[Buritsu]

Ooh thanks very much for your feedback! That's a relief ^^; yep I might just up the font size one notch. Thank you!

I agree with @Rhonder, didn't try on mobile, but seems okay on the web version at least! Good luck with your comic!

Ahh! Great, I see. Thanks for giving me your opinion

I'm on desktop and I can read it fine but I could see other people having an issue. It wouldn't hurt to make the text a tad bigger, you also may want to consider switching to a sans-serif font, they tend to read a little easier at small sizes. Personally I get most of my comic fonts from blambot.com, they have a lot of fonts specifically for comic dialogue. Some of the fonts you have to pay to download but a lot of them are free.

Also this is more of a personal preference but some of your bubbles have a lot of text in them. I generally find multiple small bubbles easier to read than one larger one.

Thanks for your feedback! I will go ahead and make the text bigger. I was going to leave the font but changing it would probably be good especially if sans serif fonts are known for reading more easily when appearing smaller. I'll take a look at some other fonts, thank you very much for your advice : )

I'm using mobile and I must say the text is bit hard to read.

[Buritsu]

Okay, thanks for letting me know! : )

I've viewed the first three uploads which consist of pages 1-12 from a desktop computer. I don't see any issues with the text and speech bubbles. I could easily see and understand the words.

Usually comics use all caps fonts to make text easier to read...

[Buritsu]

Thank you very much! good to know, I think the sizing issues are mainly with viewing on a mobile phone but thanks for giving me your feedback!

[Buritsu]

Yeah, you're right, I will look at some caps fonts too. Thanks for your feedback!
