So did anyone break out a calculator and to Jason’s Paint By Number project in Sunday’s [FoxTrot](http://www.ucomics.com/foxtrot/2006/04/09/)? I assume it’s a picture of Paige, since Jason calls it “scary” but I can’t see it in the lines. Anyone know where to find a colored in version? ---

I love the internet. ---

Is the image available anywhere else? The link takes me to a livejournal page, but what I suspect is the image in question shows up as a small white square with a red “X” in it. Right-clicking “Show Picture” has no effect for me. ---

Wha? Wow, it never occurred to me that I could subscribe to comics communities in LiveJournal and have comics show up in my friends page. That’s ingenious! The comic in question is ingenious also. ---

I don’t know if it will help but further down the page one of the folks has it as their icon. Green monster with a blondish ponytail. ---

Yes, but there’s also a thing that looks like a boney bat-wing where her neck should be, and nothing below the neck. Personally, I think it’s Paige as a vargouille, from the D&D Monster Manual. I did most of it myself, but I can’t make out some of the numbers on the online version, so I’m waiting to get ahold of the printed version to finish it. ---

This is why I love _FoxTrot,_ because Bill Amend is nerdy enough to actually make a puzzle like this that _works._ ---

Personally, I think it’s Paige as a vargouille, from the D&D Monster Manual. I think that “boney bat-wing” is supposed to be her serpentine body. Think of the picture as a snake with a huge Paige-head on it; I believe that’s the intent. ---

Yeah, Amend is CLEARLY one of us. Hell, he even reads PvP. When Kurtz parodied Foxtrot he wrote it praising it and Kurtz ran it in his letters column. ---

I think a snake bodied Paige is more in style with Amend’s typical creatures. Nice comic. I thought the prime numbers would be painful, but since they are just backdrop it wasn’t too bad.
