Compression Algorithm

Man, I am tired. This is a filler-y non-storyline, Star Trek comic because the comic that is supposed to come next wasn't “ready” yet humor-wise. The joke, if you missed it, is that the first four panels are a high-quality gif, while the last four are the lowest-possible quality jpg. Actually, both gif and jpg use lossy compression algorithms, but there is so much solid color in Nerdcore that it doesn't hurt to lose a few gradients.

Also, for Drunk Duck I had two merge the two images into one gif, but the bottom half was a low-quality jpeg before that.
