File sizes/download times

With the more and more involved color work, the file size gets more bloated as well. I've just about managed to keep today's on the good side of 50 Kb but there are a few in the next week or so where I won't manage that.So, uh, are you still getting the strips in fast enough? How much bigger do you think I should let them get?------------------

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I've got cable, so my problem is more in delay and disappearing connections than in file sizes. When it works, it's fast enough for anything.------------------

56K modem at home and no problem. You should see my file sizes! They've ranged from 66k to over a 100 depending on how elaborate the coloring is. I've been switching around to whatever looks like it gives the best results for the particular day's comic. Jpg or png. ------------------

I have a 28kbps connection. I know it's embarassing. I have a 56k modem but the telephone line where I live sucks. The comic is still downloading fast enough for me. So don't worry about it. I only start losing my patience with images more than 150k anyway. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">------------------
