The image will then appear in the traditional single image display. With IE, that is the only chance one has to enlarge images. <br /><br />Please let me know if this does the trick. <br /><br />I really like the new lightbox feature, but wouldn't use it if there was no way to get the full image. As far as internet browser options go, Google Chrome offers more ways to get to an enlargeable image than does IE, at least for now.Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-58994391272342921252011-11-17T11:14:49.522-05:002011-11-17T11:14:49.522-05:00Hey Mykal!

The Andy Hardy series was done at this time except for one later film in 1958, so did Western think that MGM wouldn't bother them or did they have a license agreement?Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-14010701519982924492011-11-14T11:47:02.639-05:002011-11-14T11:47:02.639-05:00David: I've often had the same thought.

Particularly now-days when the coloring is simply too overpowering it marginalizes the draftsmanship, both pencils and inks, all together. <br /><br />But when comics are colored correctly, as so many of the Dell Four colors were,it can really add to the art. Very little of "correct" coloring today, though. It doesn't compliment the art so much as blot it out.Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-70115122238170575312011-11-14T11:43:01.216-05:002011-11-14T11:43:01.216-05:00So nice.

I'm starting to think that comics just look better sans color...or maybe just when the inking is this good.David Martingalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359162407101276360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-26335117361672411382011-11-14T10:30:21.662-05:002011-11-14T10:30:21.662-05:00Bill: I agree, this is some fantastic stuff.
