There are no extended characters in that strip, so I can only surmise that Dejanoose is doing something that has caused them to appear. As soon as I get time to set up my real news reader to some free server, I am sure the problem will disappear. An alt+160?... Seems like I once had that problem with some of my cowboy cartoons. I have no idea why they got in there, but they kept me from posting WITH my regular newsreader, back when I had a news server. Well, shit.
