These modify the cheeks naturally in addition to the mouth. I generally only use those particular morphs at minimal numbers to add a bit more subtly to my expressions - the bulk of the morphs are done by combining basic morphs with the visemes.

True, and I often work in that same fashion as well. Regarding the automatic cheek flexing in both morphs you mentioned above, I'm sure you already know and have tried this, but you can use the "CheekFlex" morph to soften these flexes greatly, though to do so you'll have to edit the morph's minimum value in settings: usually the morph has its minimum locked to "0", but you can always lower that to "-1" and play with it as a means to soften the creases left by the other morphs. I'm putting a quick test I just did regarding this, with the character's "Happy" morph taken to 1.
By the way, I had a question: This is the first time I'm doing a comic and I was wondering, what software can you guys recommend to make it? For the most part I'll be working on single panels, so I'm only looking for speech bubbles, onomatopoeias and the likes. Would Paint suffice, or is there another free software that might give me more useful options here? Also, can anyone think of a good bimbo name that might sound or share something in common with "Leona"?
