          Thanks Joakim!  I found the black border/white border

 |  then then the large amount of blacks in the picture
 really make it jump (and lets take a moment to mourn the
 pitt pen that worked on that picture).
 
 JB, I can't believe someone would have the temerity to
 take it upon themselves to just trim up that Kirby page.
 Even if they didn't know what it is exactly they were
 holding, it's still an item dropped off by a customer.
 You would think a phone call would be made to confirm
 anything like that no matter what they were working on!

          What's really aggravating is that this is clearly a case of assuming the

 measurements got it wrong.

          Well, JB, surely nobody in the history of mankind has jotted down something andgot it wrong?

 |  Seems like another good example of why assumptions are good to avoid whenever it's possible.

          "99.44% of civilians do not recognize original comicbook art when they

 In fact, the very concept is alien to them. They simply don't think about
 comicbooks being "created", and at such times that they come close to
 doing so, they tend to be thinking more about the printing process, and
 the
 "value" of the published books."
 
 
 And I have a feeling that that with the advent of computers the civilians
 will become even more detached. They'll be more apt to assume that if
 it's comic art for a comic book then surely it must have been done on a
 computer. You know, that magic button on the computer that makes all
 comic art "magically appear".

 Indeed!  I often have civilian friends of friends in the Studio, and standing
 right there by the drawingboard, looking at a work in progress, they ask if I
 do it on the computer.

          That's almost funny in a very sad kind of way.

          Maybe they think you do it all on computer, and then do

 draw what you actually put together on the computer or
 something.  Not entirely sure where they'd be coming
 from there...
