I reread it a few times and finally realized why. I've read somewhere that some newspapers would print Sunday strips without the top panels, because those were "just the logo". So the comic writers who wanted to use those first panels made independent jokes as small preludes to the actual Sunday strips. That's what this reads like. -- OO Joaquim G�ndara .||. http://www.Nerd-Boy.net bb jg
