Someday I'll get one. (I always wonder if owning a table really would save me any time or help me make better work. I suspect that I'd be forever redrawing because I would have infinite erase.)

They're doing a lot of harm to people's work, and the reason is, you really have to work in Illustrator and you really have to make your own brush, and those are both hard things to master. I'm all for tablets, but maybe 1% of users have come to terms with the brush issue. Compare Pug's custom brush at http://lilnyet.com/ with what appears to be a stock brush on Shortpacked! here (scroll down): http://www.blanklabelcomics.com/ Of course, I don't know for sure, but that's how stock brushes usually look. For anyone who is confused, the brush is what the plastic pencil tells the tablet to produce when you draw a line. You can set it for an inky line, or polka dots, or whatever, but if you don't have an inky line that resembles your natural inky line, you're going to lose some soul. Good point about tablets.
