This is unsettling news, Brian. There are no extended characters
in that strip, so I can only surmise that Dejanoose is doing
something that has caused them to appear.

As soon as I get time to set up my real news reader to some
free server, I am sure the problem will disappear.

An alt+160?... Seems like I once had that problem with some
of my cowboy cartoons. I have no idea why they got in there,
but they kept me from posting WITH my regular newsreader, back
when I had a news server.

Well, shit. This just sucks...
