I assumed as much myself. However, based on the comics that I spot checked in my Fantagraphics hard copies, I'm no longer sure that is the case?
In particular, I'm really curious how Fantagraphics missed the comic published in 1922-10-29. (See the section titled "Figuring out dates for comics" in my write up for details)
> I suppose one could apply more ML to automatically try to clean up all of these diverse scans into something worth putting into a book, but I feel there is a huge can of worms being opened up there.
I, for one, hope that someone opens that can of worms!
- egypturnash 7y agoHave they been scraping the bottom of the barrel and reprinting stuff they can only find shitty scans of lately? I haven’t been getting their recent volumes, I kinda feel like I have all the Krazy Kat I need in my life right now. I’m just gonna assume a humorous accident involving craft beer and flannel shirts for the one missing strip. :)
