You can't expect the kiddies to miss out on the indoctrination can you? <p></p><i></i>

Get hold of an electronic version,change the text,print out the tinfoil hat edition,slip your baby back into the comic shop.<br>Imagine what someone like Tom Tomorrow could do with all those speech balloons. It's just begging to be vandalised.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Thanks for the link!<br><br>I remember a thread a few weeks ago where we were talking about doing various mashups of the comic when it was released.<br><br>I was about to do some googling on it, but decided to check in here first. <p></p><i></i>

Aye, here is the other thread, for continuity's sake: <br><br>"9/11 Report: a Graphic Adaptation for Every American"<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm40.showMessageRange?topicID=195.topic&start=1&stop=20">p216.ezboard.com/frigorou...=1&stop=20</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>How's that for 'institutional memory'?!<br><br>A lot of good ideas were being bounced around by AlanStrangis, Seamus O'Blimey and bvonahsan. Did anything ever get done with that, guys? I was expecting a first draft ready for review by the committee some weeks ago! <p></p><i></i>

I used the "Scrapbook" feature to suck in the images/html of the first two chapters.<br><br>Given that the code already exists, I'm thinking of tweaking the existing html, so that when you mouse over an image, it's replaced with a different image that challenges/expands on the given info (depending on content).<br><br>I AM (ostensibly) working right now, but I'll make some notes.... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
