US Newspaper polls readers on cartoon choice

Can't see the the UK Guardian ever doing this: or getting as much feedback -- some 5000 readers replied - on a newspaper's plans to alter its comic strip section.

Inspirational Star Trek posters


Some don't work, but when they do, they really do. Plenty more of these unofficial images at:

Links section revamp

There might not seem to be much going on at downthetubes -- but you'd be wrong. It's all "under the bonnet" stuff though -- tidying up images folders, a revised links section which hopefully makes more sense to visitors.

The image flder changes were brought on by increasing "bandwidth theft" problems that I hope I've solved with a few technical tweaks to stop direct links to images on my site. I don't like doing this -- but it was starting to cost me money.

On the writing front, there's a cartoon project that looks as though it may finally see a wider audience after three years of writing it, with Nick Miller on the art chores. Fingers crossed...
