Five skwerly pages in color

General
After waiting for Rowrbrazzle #106 to come out (and some folks to get their copies), I'm posting the color versions here even though it mainly concerns the misadventures of a character, a long-time member of my imaginary world, who hasn't been posted here before.
Meanwhile I have been doing some work on another item, on a very different location - a 1996 Apple All In One running OS X 10.2.3 and Adobe PhotoShop Elements 2 - upgraded with a 500Mhz processor and maxed out memory, it runs pretty well, especially as the story mentioned above was done on a 350Mhz, 256Mb memory Windows 98SE AT box...
(pause while my readers swoon with horror at such retro grandeur)
... and Corel PhotoPaint 8!
Ahem. All my other computers are some recent version of *nix, all with much faster processors, so I'm not really backward, merely an impoverished creature of habit.
Anyhow, some time back I had another 98 box that I had the PSE2 and a Wacom tablet attached to but it went tits up and I was never able to get the tablet to work until I plugged it into the AIO abovementioned just now. I spent this afternoon reacquainting myself with this ancient Apple and finding that it wasn't so hard to work with after all. In due time the results may be posted here. We'll see.
