This is what http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6157907/ looked like yesterday before I gave up on doing it the hard way. Carefully painting in all those colored lines in Photoshop (an old version that doesn't have a stabilizer feature, even!) and setting up all those layers to get the eyes to look right without outlines, was time-consuming and energy-draining.
I tried doing it that way because strips #1 thru #3 were inked on paper, but I was getting tired of the rough edges of the ink lines; they were interfering with the show-perfect look I was going for. The roughness really played hell with the colored outlines.
In the end, I decided to just give up on the show-perfect look and let it be a little rough.

I've had somewhat the opposite experience. Once I started "penciling" and "inking" on the computer, I find it takes about the same amount of time, but with the major advantage of being able to correct things a LOT easier on the computer than on paper.
But the thing that really set my art free, digitally, was acquiring a Motion Computing LE1600 tablet computer. Drawing directly on the screen, even on this "obsolete" device, makes all the difference in the world!
And, KT: I would encourage you to pursue digital inking. Your strip, above, was looking VERY nice and it would have been interesting to see you complete it that way.
Along those lines, I would definitely suggest you give Inkscape a try. That has helped me out in many ways, and I'm still discovering its many features (I only just figured out how to use pressure sensitivity while "inking" with Inkscape).
Regardless, keep up the good work!
