1. Dustin's trash and recycling pickup are on different days? That's inconvenient.
2. Healthy raccoons in the daytime are totally possible, but I wouldn't stand that close.

Ours are -- rubbish and recycle collection alternate weekly.

I've been musing on the Gilchrist situation (as one does, especially waking up this morning to the news that David Cassidy is desperately ill; he was little Miss Boods's first music crush and on her behalf I will be extremely cross when/if that creep does a tribute strip on the inevitable).

Anyway, I'm not religious, but I'd like to think that Jesus himself was such a fan of Fats Domino that He's made damned sure there won't be some lovely tribute to him in the Gilchristified Nancy.

You know, I wouldn't wish sexual harrassment on any third party just so a bad comic strip whose creator is a creep can get shut down, but if anyone's strip paints its creator as a creep it's Intelligent Life. Just putting that out there.

I think there's a very good chance Gilchrist's not coming back from this break (or suspension or whatever is going on that is likely to prevent a sappy Thanksgiving strip), and even if he were I doubt we'd see anything dramatic in the comic.

Admittedly a storyline from Gilchrist in which Christian Ubermensch Phil Fumble is falsely accused of sexual assault would be downright hilarious.

Wait, have we gotten confirmation that Gilchrist is going "on a break?" I must have missed that.
I checked the Guy Gilchrist Productions Facebook page last night and he had just put up a help wanted ad for a new studio assistant. Hm, I wonder what happened to the old one?

Wikipedia posted:

Yōkan (羊羹) is a thick, jellied dessert made of red bean paste, agar, and sugar. It is usually sold in a block form, and eaten in slices. There are two main types: neri yōkan and mizu yōkan. "Mizu" means "water", and indicates that it is made with more water than usual. Mizu yōkan is often chilled and eaten in summer.

I think some scanning software does auto-stitching. Otherwise you're looking at manual alignment in your image editor of choice.

See if you can get access to a book scanner at a library, one of those that takes photos from above. Might have to go to a university or other scientific library.

Cheapskate option: if you have an Android phone with a decent camera, give Photoscan a try. In my experience results are often surprisingly good.

Just anecdotal evidence, but mine only charges 2 cents per page. Might be free at yours, if not, probably isn't prohibitively expensive.

Seriously. And when you live in the Marvel Universe with its surplus of mad scientists and mutant healers, it’s not like there aren’t other options for limb replacement, but nope, always gotta be LIZARD WAY OR NO WAY for ol’ Curt.

But seriously, get a loving limb replacement. You could bring in Misty Knight to explain how all you need is to befriend Tony Stark or Reed Richards and you'll get a smart arm that probably works better than your normal one.
