Thanks, Harry! And thanks to Ole for Scandinavian updates (your Danish
characters didn't make it to me at least, but I understand anyway :-).

I think the keyword there is _quite_. I know of at least one one-pager
that is missing, I just recently inserted the "Comics in 3D" thingy, and
there may be others. One day, when me gets lots of spare time (probably
within the next dozen years or so) I'll see what I can dig up about those
missing comics.

Actually, I see two fairly good reasons for this. One is the (obviously)
interesting dates. The other is that I myself have some problems connecting
Don's English names to the one I'm familiar with, and I'm even guessing at
times. Any other info would just be fill-outs, to make it look a little
more... well... complete. :-) I mean, just translations and dates seem a
little meager to me. Then again, you do have a point. Anyone else?
