BleAx: Comic Strip Aggregation Program

Screenshot of previous unreleased version.

Concept
The purpose of this program is to provide hand-drawn comic strip artists with tools to maximize the amount of time they spend drawing while minimizing the time they spend performing infrastructure tasks. Here are the steps we expect a user to take to create a comic strip and post it on the web:
1. Print out on template for each panel of the strip.
2. Draw the panels.
3. Scan all the panel sheets into a user specified directory.
4. Press the “Create” button to aggregate the comic and display it on the BleAx GUI.
5. If it is OK, press the “Upload” button to upload the strip to a user specified location on the internet.
6. Write a blog post and publish it from BleAx to a ComicPress themed WordPress blog.

Since 2008 I have enjoyed reading "Betty Blonde" a comic strip invented by talented young lady. The strip above is an example of her work. Her Father wrote a program to simplify the publishing of "Betty Blonde" to the web. After a couple of years the entrance into collage placed "Betty Blonde" on the back burner. Recently the decision was made to bring "Betty Blonde" back, along with this decision comes a rewrite of BleAx. BleAx is a great tool for anyone wanting to publish their comics to a website.
In the coming days BleAx will be released as an open source program for Windows and Linux. The developer is currently looking for beta testers. The Windows beta installer should be finished this weekend and the Linux version will follow soon after. Leave a comment on his post if you are interested. http://bettyblonde.com/bleax/ As of May 3rd the documentation is available for viewing and downloading. You will also find a link there to start following Betty Blonde.

Update from the developer: "I am going to make the source available this weekend (I hope) via subversion. I am using an environment that is completely compatible with Mac's. I just don't have a Mac on which to build and run it. The libraries and even the development environment (QT Creator) are all free, open source and they all build just fine on Mac OS X. If someone wants to build some binaries, I would be very happy to either host the binaries myself or point to whoever hosts them."
