Oops - naturally, you're right. I was just trying to point out that what 
Sigvald claimed to be "wrong" here, was correct in the article. So... my tongue 
slipped, and I said something I shouldn't have said.

Sorry, Timo. Sorry, everybody. If you accept my excuse, that is (I realize that 
accepting excuses can be pretty tough on the DCML right now).



Oh, and, Sigvald:
> No she (it's a female journalist we're talking about here) is *NOT* correct.

That is *book*. We're talking about *comic books*. The definition of a comic 
book, according to Encarta, is "a magazine that consists almost entirely of 
stories told in a series of colored panels in which balloons over the 
characters’ heads provide dialogue and the thoughts of the characters".
