  Thought I'd share. This is just a very rough 15 minute pencil and inked strip done on my Samsung Note 8.0 this morning while I was at a doctor visit to show off what it can do. (I had uploaded files into dropbox to do actual comic inking, but ran into a problem.) I still need to fiddle with some settings. I exported a roughly, 13 x 4 inch .tiff strip at 300 DPI to dropbox, then imported it into Sketchbook Pro, which changed the size to 40 x 17 at 100 DPI. Penciled on the base layer by accident.. oops.. still getting used to it, then inked on separate layers. (I had put other files into the dropbox to do actual comics in, forgetting that you need to OPEN/download the files manually to actually use them if you don't have access to wifi.) I exported it as a .psd as it was and did not do anything else to it other than letter it in photoshop, put word bubbles on it in Manga Studio, then resized it. Perfectly printable. Obviously didn't finish the art, I have other comics to do! I also didn't use the ruler tools… simply because I didn't want to fiddle with the settings at this time. But yeah.. you CAN draw an entire comic on a Note. I have the files sitting in dropbox… 😀
  (Yeah, it was ME who failed… not technology.)

  I almost got burned by that last year. I was going to the local ComiCon and they had a bar coded confirmation form that showed you'd paid the admission fee in advance. Arriving late evening of the early-bird day I went up to the pre-reg booth and discovered I'd left the print out of the form at home — after a moments panick I remembered I'd copied it to Dropbox, and pulled out my tablet so they could scan the barcode off the screen… And it wouldn't come up no matter how many times I tapped at that screen.
  In the end it turned out not to matter. Due to a miscommunication the person in charge of registration had left the booth an hour before the advertised closing and took the key to the lock boxes the badges were in. So I headed off to my hotel room, connected to their wifi and got the form downloaded for the next morning.
