I would however probably go for either of the other suggestions first and probably bugsy's in preferance, it will take a little bit of doing to get it looking perfect but it will provide a better starting point than using a digicam. Unless you happen to have a really really high spec digicam and even then you will need to clean the whole pic up and probably edit some of the lines...

For the home remedy way, If it's a rough drawing (Even better if it's black and white) that you plan to clean up digitally, then the stitch together will work perfectly since the final product will be a composite anyhow. However, the problem with a lot of consumer level scanners, is that no matter how hard you try to avoid it, there will always be a gradient of light (In other words, the outter edges will be darker) which makes stitching colored pieces together difficult, because the seam will become obvious.

In the worst case scenario that you have to stitch pieces together for a final piece through a scanner, the healing brush of Photoshop CS helps a great deal in patcbing the seams, along with color adjustments.

Anyhow, I recommend getting the whole thing scanned at a copy center or office supplies store whole as not to compromise the intergrity of the image. It shouldn't be that pricy for a piece of mind.
