Wow don't I feel stupid. I searched the replies for a response before posting the message, but somehow missed it. Even now I had to do a google search on the forum to find it. Thank you so, so much for looking into this recipe and taking the time to help me out. I really appreciate it. In answer to your question, yes i looked through those first, but it was not offered.

I tried the recipe out and it almost works. Unfortunately, the cartoon gets cut in half. Please see attached pic. Perhaps blending in rford's code above for rotating cartoons would work. I replaced his code with yours starting at def postprocess_html, but the recipe did not work at all (clearly it could not have been that easy, although I figured i'd try)

Thanks again for your help and sorry once again for not fully searching the forum before asking for the request again. THANK YOUUUUU
