File size rather than physical size.Here you go - edit this one in. Bit grained but not too bad.

Yep,~usually~ when people are talking about size on here they are talking about file sizes. For example, my strip below is about the same physical size as yours, but it's 72k where your strip is nearly 400k and that can slow down the page loading on their screens (which then makes them grumpy).
Of course, you don't have to bother doing this, but it's actually very little effort and a useful skill to have. If you're making comics regularly for the web then you will cut down on your hosting costs if your site uses less bandwidth - which you can achieve by making your images' filesizes smaller.
In Photoshop, have a look at the 'save for web and devices' options. They're great! They give you a live-updated version of how your optimised image will look as well as telling you the final size.

Oh I know how to do it.I just assumed (wrongly) that 300kb wasn't considered a large file size in this day and age. I can see a difference in how it looks at 100kn vs 300kb.
I have unlimited bandwidth so it's not a concern for me that way.
