	Eeeeyow! I just checked this page, and the scan *has* been censored!
	How do I know? Because I'm the guy who did it!

	When I made those scans some years ago, my goal wasn't just to use
them for the DCML web pages; I also meant to color them by computer and
prepare a sort of "Gottfredson sampler" as a guide for some people who were
then working at Disney. To keep the material from seeming too controversial,
I made alternate, retouched versions of the "Jungle Treasure" and "Treasure
Island" samples.
	While I never actually followed up on my plan with Disney, I notice
now - for the first time - that I gave the DCML pages the censored version
of the "Jungle Treasure" page.
	Maybe someone wants to make a new scan?

	(BTW, the "Treasure Island" scan on the DCML pages is the properly
original version.)
