  • Comment seems cut off at the bottom. Can't you clonestamp in a little paper in order to allow the crop to not cut off a line? Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 08:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The actual illustration went to the edge of the paper. This is scanned from the first edition. Durova297 14:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not quite: There's the tiniest of gaps in the original, yours cuts a line. I presume this is because of a slight rotation, but it'd be better to synthesise a little paper and keep the end of the line in. Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 15:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Hm...will get on it (pours coffee). Durova297 16:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Er... isn't coffee made with water? ....Oh, dear, that doesn't look healthy. *eyes around shiftily, steals Durova's shoes* Shoemaker's Holiday Over 184 FCs served 03:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - saw both versions and yeah, the image goes to the bottom and is cut off on the edge of the -page-, so the illustration is supposed to be cut off. Everything checks out. However, why is Dorothy's shoe next to the witch? lol. Ottava Rima (talk) 14:50, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the original text the witch tricked Dorothy out of one of her shoes. Durova297 14:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Still makes me wonder why it is in the witch. ;/ Ottava Rima (talk) 15:12, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • The injustice of it! What sort of person steals a dead woman's shoes? Durova297 16:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
