So guys and gals, how do you ink traditionally, or digitally? Maybe you ink like I do sketch and tablet +program?

Guardsman.
I ink with a brush and india ink.

And I find it odd you don't have that listed as an option, since that's been the standard with the comic industry for decades.
for some, others either go digital or use a felt tip pen like a faber castell PITT or pigma micron. it generally depends on what one's style is, but "traditional paper and pens" is broad enough to those who use a brush and ink.

Using my tablet, I start out with very rough underwork, refine it with clearer-looking sketches, stick a blue overlay over that, and then ink, shade, and hand-letter it. Although it takes longer to sketch out the comic by tablet, the inking process is much easier and less frustrating, as I can undo the various mistakes I make.
purely in photoshop?
Yup. I've experimented with Painter for colouring before, but I always come crawling back to Photoshop.

D - all of the above, I sketch, I ink, I erase, then I digital... I'm not really certain why though, the inking step isn't necessary to my process in the grand scheme of things...

-oh well
