    It’s not that they don’t care. Apparently, their archives of the old strips have only the low resolution. The only thing they could do is pay someone to transliterate. But why pay someone, when davidf42 does it for free? Admittedly, I’d prefer they pay someone to reletter the old comics, rather than color them.

    If they’re selling it as an E-book, then they must have higher resolution scans. Otherwise the E-book would be a dud.

    Annie is under cover as “Bridget”. She should hide that red hair, too.

    It is possible that nothing can be done due to the quality of the originals.

    David, as far as I can tell, in Panel 7 the word is “eempossible” just as you said.
