Two questions about webcomics?

First off, I am making a comic book that I'm wanting published on the Internet. But the comic's done on normal printer paper, and it appears too big when I scan it on my HP PSC1400 printer/scanner. How much should I resize my resolution too? Second, I want a little shading and coloring. However, I am 11 years old not knowing how to buy things off the internet without getting my ass whooped back to me with Identitiy Theft because I bought an expensive Adobe Photoshop Program. So, are there any other color and shading programs I am can try. Ones that are free (would the Paint Program work)? I'm sending all 20 issues to Drunk Duck...and I tried before, but the pictures were too big. And my comic takes up a whole page of printer paper. So...HOW SMALL SHOULD I GET ITTT?!!!!!!!!!!

1. you should go on ask.com it will yake time to find the answer but you will EVENTUALLY get it
2. For web use, the optimal resolution is 72 dpi. No need to make it higher. Keep the dimesion of your strip (widthxheight) in such a way that user won't have to scroll up/down. For print publication, the correct resolution is 300 dpi (for newspaper is 133 dpi). As far shading and coloring concern, why don't you make it directly on your drawings. It kinda give a personal touch. Don't you agree? Try to compile your final works in pdf and see the size.
