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 
 customer wanted it, rather than that the person jotting down 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 
 see it. 
 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 
 the "easy part" on your drawingboard.  Like, you just 
 draw what you actually put together on the computer or 
 something.  Not entirely sure where they'd be coming 
 from there...
