UncommonSense has a point
Years and years ago I remember a Bloom County strip where the main characters were playing members of the (original) Enterprise crew. Capt. Kirk (Milo) was ordering engineering to make the comics smaller so that newspapers could have more space for Dear Abby. By the end, they had managed to reduce the size of the entire comics page (except for Doonesbury, which wouldn't budge) to a point of singularity or "artwork so incredibly compressed, not even legibility can escape!!"
Comics are hard to read in the paper -- it's not that I'm getting old and need reading glasses of course :) But given how dense TT's strips often are, and that fact that there's no need to create space for Dear Abby, it would be nice if Salon could publish larger versions of their strips. Or provide a larger version to click on, for those who aren't bandwidth challenged.
