Thanks to Melody for the information yesterday about the Academia Waltz collections! I will have to look for some old copies of those… bet they’re pretty hard to find!
Responding to a troll is like feeding a stray dog. Once you do they will never leave you alone. The difference is a dog is usually a lot more pleasant to have around.
I think these strips are scanned at a pretty low resolution … probably so no one can print out a high-resolution copy and try to pass it off as collectible art. I don’t think they need to be as bad as they are. That’s assuming the originals still even exist to be scanned. would a college newspaper save these for nearly 40 years?
Not too many years ago a couple of the women came to the door selling jewelry… they tried the scam where one keeps you occupied with the products while the other one asks to use the bathroom… we did not let her in.
