[10/4 (good buddy?): New site setup has continued to be ornery but Dawn has been on the horn with the creators and we think we finally have it licked, data rearrangements pending. That said, updated target date for Comic 500 is pushed to next Wednesday, Oct. 12. Hopefully "see" you then!]

[9/27 update: artist/web designer Dawn has been struggling with a bout of stomach flu, so new site construction will still be ongoing while she recovers. Comic on hold until we get the chapter situation straight. We'll continue to keep y'all posted.]

[Update on the technical problems: the chapter navigation broke, likely as a result of a WordPress update, and it doesn't seem like there's a fix for the framework we're using, which admittedly is code that stopped being actively supported several years ago. With that in mind, we're going to try to implement a long overdue migration to a new theme and hope to have it in place in time for Comic 500. Apologies to new and old in the meantime -- the drop down for chapter selection still works but the chapter jump buttons don't and you can't cross between chapters seamlessly like you used to be able to do, so if you're just joining us it might seem like things just stop after Episode 1. There's a lot more, for sure!]

We're almost to page 500! But unfortunately the universe decided to celebrate by gifting us with some technical difficulties that have temporarily affected our archive listing and chapter navigation. The new page should be available and no content is lost, but it might be a bit harder to get around for the time being until we can figure this out.
