Huzzah!!! Does this mean I am no longer in the doghouse? ;)

Well, you weren't in the doghouse to begin with (not on that account, at least...) and you're certainly not there now.

It doesn't mean I'm going to stop buying the collected volumes, though, so trees are still going to die on account of my pursuit of hard copies...

Well, glad to hear that! *whew* I understand about the hard-copies, though. I'm seriously considering picking up Girl Genius - if not for myself, for the local library to pursue - after I get a paycheck or two, of course.

And you are a real stinker, you know? Clever, but a stinker just the same. ;)
