On making comic icons with text
Hi! I'm new to this community but I've lurked here before... so I decided to finally enlist the help of some experts for a question that I've been pondering for the last few days.
Are there any rules/tips for preserving the text (i.e. its crispness) of a comic when resizing the image to fit the 100x100 space of an icon?

I know that we're dealing with different original image sizes and different text sizes... but I'm making several comic icons and I'm curious as to whether there's a technique to making comic text look crisp/clear. My icon, in particular, has fuzzy text... but I don't want to compromise the rest of the image to fix the text. I don't want to know how to make the specific "good" icon above, BTW. I just want know whether there's a trick to preserving the text.
I have PS CS2, by the way.
