It’s the truth. You never want to save anything in MS Paint to a JPEG, even GIF doesn’t look too great. Bitmap or PNG is the best =P

Actually if you right click and say save as you can see the this image is in PNG, PNG WINS!!!

actually, for screenshots and comics, jpg is better. just use a good quality setting. You don’t need a pixel-perfect lossless compression for that stuff.
Of course, if you use MS Paint instead of a good prog like the GIMP, jpg is always wrong.
