    cute stuff, you can see why this would be popular, the snake drawing on the bottom is really funny

    Sadly I think I’m going to have to discontinue following this. The images are just too small, even zoomed up. Thanks for your efforts, thought, Peter!

    I agree with Dual, the resolution just isn’t good enough to appreciate, let alone enjoy, most of these. The text is barely readable and the artwork suffers.If this is teaser to get us to buy the book, I’m not sure it’s going to work. How do we know the book reproduction will be any better?

    Peter gives the date as April 15, but it says April 29 at the top of the page.

    The cost is down, so now’s the time to move up from that 10" monitor that came with the sam’s club computer…

    I have actually been pretty impressed with the resolution of these strips from over 100 years ago. Have you tried the zoom function in your browser?

    I can’t get the zoom function to work on Gocomics. I have a 29 inch wide angle HR monitor and still can’t read this strip. I’m running the latest Firefox, which used to work fine before Gomics improved their system. When I click on the magnifier, nothing happens. And I’m not changing browsers just for Gocomics.

    barticle, do you have noScript (or something similar) installed perchance? To get the magnifier to work, you have to disable that. at least temporarily.
