Great stuf, Steve -- welcome back from hiatus!

Someone else contributes to this blog?
There are actually supposed to be four of us. I am like the anchor wth the other gys, Steve and the two Brits, dropping in when they can. But the other guys are quite busy and so have backed off a bit, which is understandable, leaving me to hold the fort. But it really is good to have Steve in every so often if only because we tend to look at things a bit differently and ha adds another voice.

Fortunately you don't do anything with your day except cartoons so you've got plenty of time to keep the blog going! Bravo, DCat! Bravo!
