I had to go back 9 versions to find any reference to these two comics..
It appears they have not been part of the CVS version of comx for 15
months or so.. anyway I pasted the code in for them... give this one
a try .. If it is ok I will check it in..

Hi all...
I (finally) got around to refreshing things on the computer... Installed
the new(er) mwd.xml to get the popup feature (nice!) and the newest comx.xml
to get the editorial cartoons and to get Calvin and Hobbes working again --
unfortunately, it looks like somewhere along the chain, Joy of Tech and User
Friendly got dropped (again) from the xml file. Is it possible to get those
back in the lineup?
