Thank you, Alex G. For answering a question that even a moderator wasn't totally clear on, you get a giant imaginary cookie! *Hands over an imaginary chocolate chip cookie the size of a manhole cover with an imaginary blue bow on top. Attached to the imaginary ribbon is an imaginary card with a picture of Tetsuko and the words "Good Job!" written on it.*
I think I might be in a rather silly mood today…
Thank you . . . tho I'll probably get in trouble with Denise here, chocolate chip cookies don't last long at The High Castle . . . 😉

However, due to the age of the strips, and the (assumed) fact that new ones are not being/will not be drawn, what would be the harm in scanning those strips and posting them? Sure, someone could go to the lengths to try to buy backissues of the magazine, but I figure they'd have to resort to the secondary market, at which point the comic strip artist/magazine editors/authors/publishers aren't seeing a dime of it anyway.
Just my view on it, I guess.
True and there is a certain degree of logic to what you say. But even so, Lingster would prefer that they're not uploaded onto his server, if they're uploaded elsewhere and then linked here, then that was fine by him.
Looking at your explanation, AlexG, I would say that the Quadra-Blu pages I posted are NOT acceptable, because they are relatively full-sized images, instead of thumbnails or links. Please advise.
In retrospect, I probably should have also included a referance to the URL code for generating full sized pictures.
Far as I know there's not a problem with posting full size scanned images here, but only those uploaded onto a server outside of Amaz0ns if they're not your own, original work. As for thumbnails, in my opinion, its just that they work better with multi-pic posting. A case in point, look to some of the comic book page scans posted by Ze Fly – if nothing else it saves on time and gives any potiental view a better overview of the numbers involved.
I only used Imageshack as an example since its one most are familar with, and to be certain there are other picture services that are available – Imagevenue and Photobucket, are two that readly come to my mind. One of the chief advantages of them is that they auto-provide the code for linking images onto forums. Otherwise, its just a matter of cut and pasting the URL and using the Amaz0ns Insert Image button located within the posting options.
