  Now smoother than a lump of coalDec 25, 2014 9:17 AM PST | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Merry Christmas! Or just have a nice day if you prefer. : )
 
You probably can't tell but the comic browsing experience here should be imperceptibly smoother today! After three days of poking at it while working on the new top-of-the-screen, click-on-the-sides-of-the-comic-to-go-forward/back navigation, I finally figured out a non-super-kludgy workaround for the problems the mobile version of the Chrome browser has in centering tables (ie this blog when it's beneath the "large" 1080p version of the comic), so I was able to de-kludgify the page layout script at last, which made me happier than it had a right to. And while I was on that long slow roll I went ahead and added pre-caching for the page before the current page, so if you're flipping backward through the comic, you shouldn't see a whole lot of loading time for the comic images, because (hopefully) they've already loaded before you even turn the page (pre-caching for reading in the forward direction has been in for a while now).
 
I'm taking today off for family festivities and frolic—back to work on another new page on Friday! It'll be the perfect thing for your eggnog hangover!
