To each his own, but I'd like to speak out for the way you're doing it now. I don't have a problem with scrolling, and the extra step M. Kulp prefers I find annoying. Keep up the great work!
I can understand your problem, but for me it is more imporatnt for modern comics (where the whole pages often works together more) than for these more classic pages, where each panel works on it's own. Still, I read a lof of comics as cbr. file and then I go from reading half pages to reading whole pages. I love to get close, but I don't want to miss the whole either Botom line is, that the bigger the image, the better the pixillation and that is what counts for me on the web.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.

I've always wondered if something like Lightbox would work on Blogger. That would make it easier to "page" through the story.
Still, great post! I've never paid any attention to Quick stories, for whatever reason, and these are amazing.
