I can give up that gimmick and post them back to back here, but I also have strips earlier, from 1963, that really deserve a showing as well, and from 1965 (not to mention the rest of 1967 plus '68, '69, '70 and '71). So a big question is: Do we want strict continuity for the Sunday strips? Or maybe 'story arcs', of a few weeks here and there? I lean toward that concept so that I can also throw in a whole bunch of other Kelly material between story arcs. You know, each Sunday will have its date in its file name, as always, so if you're saving em, they'll all go into order as you dump em into a folder, or folders, if you want to do em by year. So you can still have continuity on your end of the deal.<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);">I think I've just convinced myself to do it that way. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 255);">I'm going to post some non-Pogo Kelly stuff here and there, cuz we all love Kelly, right?
