I'm pretty sure he tags as (js-DCP) lately instead of just (js) — given
the unusual lowercase tag and the material scanned, it seems to be the
same person. I've been seeing them as part of "Old Comic Scans" posts
at mycomicpost.net, but I may have seem them in some of the usual
places as well. I just noticed lately that I hadn't seen these posted
on usenet. When I checked, his last post was 90 days ago and still used
the (js) tag. I'm glad he's still scanning, but it makes it harder to
find the archives. I haven't done IRC in more than a decade. Maybe
that's where most of these new scans originate?
