Ok, here goes. I've edited them to include only the From: header and the actual `funnies'. The origin of some of the quotes was given in other articles; I have not included it here.

I hope I've included all of them. We should have a vote for the best. Anyone willing to collect email? -------------------------------- .Marty.! Lost in Space! (or is it Japan?)
