Hi, Bruce. Thanks for the comments on this matter, too. I will probably redo the Acts story as part of my revamp of the New Testament part of the site, and will add the missing panels there as well.

Hey Brendan, I appreciate the fact that you added the final two illustrations to the Canaanite woman story.
