Thanks for confirming my impression. On the other hand, I know
that computers are used extensively in making movies such as
Star Wars and probably also the Matrix trilogy, and movies are
a lot more demanding than comics. Does that seem to contradict
the apparent unsuitability of computers for drawing comics?

No.

What makes you think that producing a movie is at all similar
to producing a comic strip?
Did you think that Star Wars and the Matrix trilogy looked like
comic strips?
Do you think the budgets/staffing/schedules of Star Wars and
the Matrix trilogy are similar to that of a comic strip?

I was addressing Dances With Crows comment that it seemed not to be
feasible. I think my question is perfectly valid.

Yelling at people who are asking reasonable questions is a deplorable
personality trait. Maybe you should check yourself into the shop and
have yourself looked at.

I wasn't yelling. Producing movies and comics strips are
unrelated tasks (unless you want to talk about storyboards), so
I don't understand why you think that the use of CGI in movies
would have anything to do with drawing a comic strip.
