This morning I cut up and organized the original pages for King-Cat 84... Figured out the page order. Was delighted and relieved that I ended up with exactly 48 pages, so no last minute scrambling. 1/4

I was horrified to read this. I have several silver sprocket works, but I realized i've never bought from them directly only from someone like spitandahalf.

Well, it looks like I just finished King-Cat 83 after a looooong gestation. Have to run through the files another time or two and look for any dropouts, specks, typos, major errors, and then I'll get it ready for the printer!
