Well, we mustn't forget that mummified wedding fruitcake that recently came to light in (I think) the U.K.

I've considered that myself. Maybe barter for several pages of free edible hardcopy. While I was surprised at how good the "roses and spare Squad 51" page turned out, scanned from my own color laser print, I'd kind of prefer to avoid...
