   I want a Schwinn 5-speed Stingray, the red one. At least if I was the right age…

   I want a seat that does not cause chaffing down under and make it hurt like heck for days. Of course if I was the same size and weight I was at 18, maybe I could still ride 20 to 30 miles a day. Now I can try to make it around the neighborhood.

   Heck, my old man is 80, and doing a 80-miler ride on a mountain bike for his birthday.

   Holy cow. I want to be your like your dad when I am eighty. Except you know, with more boobs and less baldness.

   I’ll stick with my bikes: BMW 1100RT for roadtrips, Honda XR400 for dirt and Honda CBR600 for “puttin’” around town (tho I’m gettin’ a tad frail for off-road hi-jinx)

   Hey, I had one of those when I was a kid! With the stick-shift!

   I commute to work by bicycle. The roads get a lot of ice and salt in Winter. So for a Winter bike the first priority is that it is the cheapest that money can buy. It will be barely mobile after two winters, no matter how good it is to start with. The second priority is fat, knobby tires. #2 seems to come with #1. For Summer, I use a modestly priced racing bike. When I switch from Summer to Winter, I feel like I’m pulling a plow.

   Well lets hope you were born with the “Y” chromosome then! :D

   It is Felipe indeed, NateWright. And Mafalda is, as a matter of fact, my favorite strip of all time. A real classic in the strictest sense of the word.

    Am I the only one who think the artwork looks too zoomed in? It’s not bad or anything; it just looks like it was scanned wrong or something. I can’t really tell with the magnify feature disabled.

    @Invisible

    It may be the way I converted the color. I’m unaccustomed to saving gif files. The original files were saved as honkin’ big tifs, then I saved .jpgs for my own site, then converted the tifs into gifs at this resolution. Let me know if there’s some cool technical thing I should know to improve them.

    @Greg Cravens

    Well, gifs are only 256 colors, so you’re going to lose a lot of shading detail. It’s not so much the file size issue as it is that gifs just aren’t as good for keeping the original image quality as jpgs or tiffs are. There’s really no technical solution outside of not to use gifs anymore. If your strips were b&w, you wouldn’t see the image loss. I would say that the only technical workarounds would be to scan the images in at 256 colors and then save them as gifs, or to check the gif exporter settings to see if there are other conversion methods that produce better final results.

    I may tinker with the conversion settings and see what happens.
