This is one of my favorite comics stores in the entire country, and due to the pandemic and some other issues, it is asking for a bit of help. I hope you go look and spread the word, donate a little bit (or a lot) if you can.
I'm going to donate some in the morning, hope you will consider it, too.

Does anyone know how to edit the little iOS suggestions that come up when filling out web forms? Sometimes it gets my current email or address correct, but more often, there are old addresses and numbers showing up. I can’t seem to figure out where the data lives to fix it.
