Tablet recommendations for simple sketches

[irbdavid]

Can anyone recommend a cheap (~£50 / ~$60) tablet that works reliably with OS X? I want to be able to do simple line illustrations, along the lines of those you see at XKCD.com

Nothing complex, but I (hope) it would be much quicker to draw these sketches than my current method of doing more 'precise' illustrations in Inkscape.

What software should I use to get good results - Inkscape? I don't want to pay for Adobe CS*. Ideally I would need to produce print-quality output.

Thanks.

Your illustration requirements are very elaborate. The cheapest Wacom Bamboo should suffice. It's currently on Amazon for about $59.

There's also a refurbished Bamboo Fun Tablet (never heard of it) for $45.

Software comes with the tablet.

Bamboo fun is the same tablet as the normal bamboo with the addition of a mouse and a copy of Photoshop Express (one generation older than current). I have never had any issues in os x with it and would recommend it for your application.
