2002-05-27 I checked the Sunday comics of the Plain Dealer and found that the "Shortcuts" is not carried by them.
Here are some webpages I found dedicated to Shortcuts: http://www.observer-reporter.com/cgi-bin/NiE/shortcuts.html www.unitedfeatures.com/ufs/comics/shortcuts.html www.unitedmedia.com/shortcuts/html/tg_race.pdf Maybe by perusing any one of these sites you may come across the metric issue.
