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"?

Generally it's a good idea to use something other than Paint. Paint.NET has a good set of basic functions beyond what Paint can do (like layers, so you can put the speech bubbles on a new layer). GIMP offers more functions but is less user-friendly and if you're just looking for simple software, it's probably easier to go with Paint.NET. (Or there's also Pixlr, which is a web application that works similar to Paint.NET or a scaled-down Photoshop.)
