@kahinuva: your point is perfectly valid in that the ability to make bad comics does not vary, however, like others have said before me, various other freeware programs, such as GIMP and PDN, exist that are far more versatile. one could theoretically produce the same end result with either one (although you'll need GIMP for any .gif animations), but with MSPaint, the task would demand an elephantine amount of time and effort.
