Website Update!

I don't need to tell you this year has been tough.

I made a resolution after COVID began that I would finally give my site a much needed update. Having near zero coding knowledge it has been a bit of a challenge but I feel that I've mostly succeeded.

I think this is my 3rd major website update since 2006, so let's just call this website 3.0. In addition to simplifying the look and making it more mobile-friendly, I've also added a few other features.

The archive is now searchable, and can be ordered in ascending or descending order. I have also added searchable content and character tags to each comic (I am currently halfway finished, but eventually all the comics will be tagged properly). You can view the character tags by mousing over a row in the archive.

I have added keyboard shortcuts for navigation. When viewing a comic, press "a" for previous comic, "s" for next comic, and "r" for random comic.

I have added shortcuts below each page to my official social media posts for that specific comic. Links to my commentary on Patreon will also be linked there with an "author commentary" button. My Patrons will know that I add commentary to each new comic I create, and I am slowly creating commentary for the older comics, starting from #1 and moving up (I am currently up to #96).

Many of you have been asking about the mobile app. I'm still trying to come up with a solution. Unfortunately the friend who created the app is no longer able to proceed with updating it, and I have zero experience in building apps. I'm really sorry to anyone affected by this, and I will keep you updated.

There are sure to be some issues and bugs initially. Let me know if you spot any bugs or missing comics, and I will fix them as soon as possible.
