Dang, Steve, why do you make them so tiny?? I like to share them with my friends (with your & the artist’s full credit, & the caption) but do I have to run them thru Photoshop to get larger image w resolution each time? Dude, I’m in your corner! You’re carving a new sub-genre in the world of comics, & I’m going to bat for you, but don’t throw me a water balloon! …. PS Tally Ho, & ~ Rock on ~ !
The problem is that damp/wet straw gets hot as it dries. I learned that from a cartoon in Boy’s Life magazine, well, a really long time ago. Pedro the Burro was trying to cool himself off with a bunch of wet hay and a fan behind it.
