That’s even better than my joke. I salute you, friend!

@Smuggins The FAKKU folks are the ones that mark an image as a spread or not. I've contacted them several times to point out that two images which are supposed to be a spread aren't being treated as a spread by the reader, and if I was right, they've fixed it, but unless you go to the effort of actually lining up the images side by side, you can't accurately tell whether the two images actually line up properly. I don't think that FAKKU has to worry about the folds at all, but they are affected by them in that there's a fold in the Japanese release, and that could affect the images that they get. I have no idea whether the artists provide the spreads as a single image to the publisher or not, but if they do, then the mismatch could be a result of how the publisher handles the image - and if they don't print the middle because of the fold, and they give the images that they print on each page to FAKKU, then FAKKU would end up with part of the image missing just like the original magazine had. So, the fact that some spreads line up properly and some don't could simply be a difference in how the Japanese publishers handle the images and what exactly they give to FAKKU, but I've never tried to figure out if the spreads that don't line up come from a specific magazine. Fortunately, most spreads do line up properly.

Interesting, good eye. I always assumed that fakku editors were combining the pages for a single page spread, but now you have me wondering if the publisher supplies them as one image and the printer handles the technical details with the folds, etc.
