Talk:Harvey Kurtzman's Jungle Book

Denis Kitchen image
Why is there a rather large picture of “Dennis” (sic) Kitchen in this article? I know that his book is cited extensively in the article, but still.—Quick and Dirty User Account (talk) 22:51, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Basically because there aren't a lot of free images that could be used to illustrate the article. I suppose it could be shrunk, but what would that accomplish?  C üRly T üRkey  Talk Contribs 01:20, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

This sentence makes no sense
"The 35¢ book had small dimensions at 4 1⁄4 × 7 inches (11 × 18 cm) and was poorly printed from low-grade Kodak Velox photographic paper [sic] onto low-quality paper." This book was undoubtedly printed by offset lithography which, for so many copies, uses metal plates, and was not "printed" from "Velox photographic paper," which is used to make prints from negatives. Kurztman's artwork may have been photographed and then printed on Velox paper, but ultimately it was the negatives of the artwork that were used to make the plates. The quality of the negatives probably was very good, so it was the cheap paper that was at fault. Simply eliminate "from low-grade Kodak Velox photographic paper" from this sentence and it makes sense. By the way, there was nothing "low-grade" about Kodak Velox paper; it was an important innovation in process photography. Autodidact1 (talk) 07:00, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

 * I'll double check the source. If it's truly problematic, it can be removed, but it cannot be "revised" without proper sourcing. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 22:39, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Autodidact1: "To save money Ballantine's printer converted Kurtzman's beautiful originals to Veloxes, a photographic technique converting his art to coarsely screened images."

Eccentric formating of numbers
Since when--in journalism, academic papers, non-fiction books--are numbers written as you do: "78 000"? I've never seen that anywhere! No comma and a totally extraneous space in its place. Please justify your revision of my edit. Autodidact1 (talk) 19:56, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Come again?!? The onus is on you to justify changing the formatting.  Also, see MOS:DIGITS.  You didn't even leave an edit comment. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 22:38, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
