It's the number one thing people are saying about the article. I fixed it, but ICJ is not online. Why, I'm not sure. It's 6:20am after all. Jhoh Cable is awake and he doesn't even have a job.

FINE. Here are some other things about the article:

It's long. I think it could use some divisions into pages just to cut down on the amount of scrolling. Like - 3 pages. At least. It's very long.

The pictures are great! So is 96% of the text! Very funny! Wonderful article! There is stuff I would trim with my razor of comedy justice - that deadheading 4%! If there's any interest. Otherwise it's just a delightfully Caltropsian touch.

Combining the two concepts above: It's so long and so funny that reading it all at once is a little wearying! It wants reorganization. I would reorganize it as into the intro followed by links to individual pages or anchors in the one big page for each of the mods. You know, an index. Why does an index make a difference? I don't know! But it does. I know there is a pictoral development that threatens to be lost then but so often art must suffer when design is given consideration.

The funniest part is Erik losing steam and leaving Team Caltrops to soldier on alone. Nothing is meant to last, or at least that's what the girls in the ZOE2 end credits song want me to know, but I like that Our Boys can keep it up so much longer than the established master.
