| Over
the years I've tried to make it a point to save every
newspaper comic strip that I could find that in any way
mentions chess. I currently have 68 such strips in all,
some of which are more than 25 years old. And now, thanks
to HTML, the Internet, and today's scanners, I'm happy I
can share some of these strips with you here. I apologize in advance for the quality of some of the scans. Some of these newspaper strips of mine are very old and very faded... and this fact clearly shows up, even after the comic is scanned. Initially, I spent some time "cleaning" the image up...only to find that I wasn't sure if the end result was really any better at all! Thus, for many of the images, I decided to leave it just the way it was. I've tried to keep the file size down for faster downloads, yet large enough so all of the text can be read. If you don't think I succeeded in this dual task, please let me know. Enjoy. You
will not see this collection of comic strips anywhere
else in the world. |
