Urgent question: have the missing speech bubbles on the first page of Stalingrad (last two panels) been restored?
They were AWOL in the UC.

I looked at the digital version and compared it to the episode released in the meg and it is definitely missing in the digital version

Nope. Nor did someone do the kindness of re-lettering the first two episodes of Stalingrad which Colin did himself, using Comic Sans as a font (something he admits was not... the perfect choice).

Sigh.

Thenkyew kaindly.

*sigh*

Poor show about the missing speech bubbles - don't they have proof-readers to guard against such things?? On a happier note, I am glad the story 'Fodder' was included and look forward to a volume 2 at some point.

(You could probably train an AI to check for anomalies.)

All the text would be correctly spelled, just with words in the wrong order. And everyone would have six fingers. Coming up next Prog in 2000 AIAD.
