    Thanks for that script! I was shocked to see the original site had gone away. Then I saw it was back somewhere else. Now I won't have to worry about it. I have all the images myself.

    That script was a little scary at first though. I was afriad that my webhost would pull the plug on it or something. It screamed! Hoever, I'm copying the last of the images to my computer, then I'll zap-em.

    I love Calvin & Hobbes, this will really be great!

    How can I find a copy of the the C&H where Calving asks Hobbes about humar nature – if it's good or evil? I'd like to get a copy for my pastor!

    Thanks!
