Thank you Rik. I like what you did. especially with the shadow.
I don't remember putting a line around the font but I do remember changing the font to something more legible from what I started out with.
The last day I worked on that cartoon must have been a bad day because no matter what I did went horribly wrong. My brain must have turned to oatmeal or something. Man I hate getting old.

Bob mentioned using a cartoon font instead of the one I used. I must admit I had considered that but I thought the one I used for Foghorn Leghorn looked good and went with the image so used that one, at least I thought that was the font he was talking about, maybe not, If it was the text in the balloon, I agree but I just didn't happen to find one that fit very well at the time.
