1. Stripping is a dieing trade in which film negatives are arranged in a pattern which will create a series of pages. There is an individual negative for each color to be printed on a printing press. Colors are arranged in order to fit together with the other colors to be printed. This process has generally been eliminated through the use of digital prepress, in which imposition software is used to "digitally strip" the pages together. The digital product of this software can be outputed to an imagesetter which creates larger peice of film, or directly to a platesetter which generates a plate which can go directly to press. Imposition is a term used in the printing industry. ... An imagesetter is an ultra-high resolution large-format computer output device. ... A platesetter is a machine which configures a lithographic plate. ...
Probably the most vital fact in connection with the "Strip" situation is that 2700 boys, between the ages of eight and eighteen, are growing to manhood in the region between Seventeenth and Fifty-second Streets.
The living conditions during their formative years are far from being conducive to building the type of honest, industrious workers that Pittsburgh needs today and always will need.
Instead, conditions in the "Strip" tend to make of its growing boys the same kind of fodder for our criminal courts and penal institutions that has come from this district in the past.
Since I'm in the process of translating some of mystrips from English to Norwegian for the Pondus comic book these days and I'm in a hurry, a new strip won't be up until next Thursday.
Yep, Stripped Again is now a guest comic in the Pondus comic book in Norway, this issue (#3) and the next two, and hopefully more after that...
Yep, a new strip is now up, and due to me having to get some other comics-related stuff done, a new strip won't be up until two weeks from now...
