Casey Karp,
I got my copy of "Antics" directly from Jim when it first came out.
Yes, it has been photocopied since he used (and, for all I know,
continues to use) copyshop equipment to run off his folios. That
explains the paper quality as well. As for the faint striping, I
can't detect anything in my copy other than what I take to be Jim's
original coloring job that carried over to the copies.
The problem is, with better copiers these days, its hard to tell if
its an original or a knock- off. That's why, in later folios, Jim used
a color pen to sign his name. Not so here.
