I have a question and a request. I am wondering how large the original daily strips are. You pack so many interesting details in there. And I am wondering if from time to time, you could add a bit to the old story line: Eddie and Dixie doing something naughty, Elizabeth cradling her child in her arms as her step daughter lets the babe grab her finger, and a new little one in Mike's family? The strip is so real and similar to my family, but I cannot see what's going on in their lives except in my imagination!

The original dailies are drawn in a 29cm x 9.5cm rectangle and the newspapers reduce them to fit their own page format. There is a finite size to which they can be shrunk according to our contracts, but papers shrink and sometimes squash them anyway! We just hope they're legible.
