That must be so annoying? It doesn't give a good impression of the comic, as a whole. in an issue which is clearly trying to attract new readers?! (Oversized Cover and Free Gift).

With your permission I'll print of out a copy of the correct panel above and stick it over the butchered version in the comic, before I hand it over to the kids. That way you'll know there's at least one original version of the strip out there!

ha ha! i'd be delighted if you did that, rick, please do. i'd love it if EVERYBODY did that, to be honest.

oh and yes, i was pretty annoyed about it. the stray meecher is in the way of the guitar-smashing action, so you can hardly tell what's happening in the panel. and the speech bubble 'sir! 6x15!' is a complete non-sequitur.
for me, it spoilt a page i had been pleased with.

could be tricky though, rick, to get the size and shape right -- i was just looking at the panels and i see that they've squashed it slightly in the comic -- might need a bit of playing around in photoshop...
GOOD LUCK!
