    Applied for a couple of DVD+Comic packs, though realise I should have mentioned that at most, I'd only be after one signed copy of the comic, plan on gifting the second to a friend.

    Speaking of which, I'm curious as to how well Krita might run from a LiveUSB?

    I just ordered the disc for a friend. She's a Windows user, though, so I hope that the Krita port to Windows will come along. Thanks!
