Thanks!  That's very good.  Bad code, though!

It's "&nbsp;", ever since the days of HTML 1.0.  Browsers may inter-
pret "&nbsp" as a no-break space but they don't have to, because it's
not correct code.

Of course then one line became longer than what MSOE can swallow, so
I had to write the "<br>" tags into the next line.

You should close the tag, too.  I added the "</tt>", one "&nbsp;",
and it's always advisable to make ">" into "&gt;" within HTML code.

The "<nobr>" tag will keep the banner from getting jumbled if
squeezed into a browser window or a table that's too small for it.

It still does.  Thanks a lot!

Spiffy!  I am both touched and horrified!  If people start hotlinking
to my page I'm REALLY going to have to beef it up!  Not necessarily
the "redbaron/" folder, but its parent directory...  Add a navigatio-
nal page for the cartoons there, and for the few HTML pages.

Anybody can recommend some good HTML editors?  I'm hopelessly out of
the loop.  What do all those cartoonists on Keenspot use for THEIR
pages?  The ones with the little monthly calendar tables.
