PreTeena by Allison Barrows for October 12, 2009

Does anyone else always have trouble reading the text of the strips, especially the Sundays?

Fairportfan2, they’re reruns. Don’t know why they’re out of sync, though. Tudza2, yeah, I really have to blow up the strip sometimes (or bring on my reading glasses)

tudza2. Just point your mouse on the strip and click. It will enlarge for you. I have to do that with a lot of them.

tudza2…I too have trouble reading the Sunday strip on Mondays, bad enough being a day late but why print so small? Don’t they have editors, or don’t they care?

If I remember correctly, this strip is no longer being drawn. They’re all reruns. And I have trouble reading it even when I blow it up – it gets all grainy. It would be nice if someone could find a way to enhance the print itself – make it darker or cleaner. Until then, I’ll just struggle on.

BTW, if I ever catch my kids doing half the stuff I did at their age, I’ll kill them. On the other hand, they wouldn’t want to hang out with kids who do the stuff I did…..

It’s very hard to read the small print but when I enlarge it, it becomes blurry and even harder to read.

Not only is the strip a day off, it’s also a couple of months off. They will be celebrating Christmas around March. I magnifying glass works ok on the small print, but yeah if it was cleaner and clearer that would be nice.

Teena is right.

Devonshade: Yes, Allison quit drawing the strip several years ago - she talked recently about doing some new books of PreTeena, but had no plans to start the strip back up, unfortunately. I really enjoy it also.

When the strip stopped originals, it began reprints from the beginning. That’s why things are out of synch.
