Added 1 new A* page:You may be noticing that things appear to be a little topsy-turvy around here all of a sudden; no, you do not need to adjust your browser: the site menu bar and the navigation bar have indeed peregrinated down to positions underneath the comic, rather than lording over it from above as they had been doing since time immemorial. I still have to redesign the navigation bar a bit, adjust the vertical spacing on everything, and clean the script up, but what you've got here is the meat of a change that came to me in one of those unasked-for up-in-the-middle-of-the-night-and-can't-sleep brainstorming sessions last night. Oh yeah, the other main thing that goes along with this is that whereas before you could click anywhere on the comic image to jump to the next page, now you can click on the left side of the comic image to go back to the previous page (clicking on the right still advances a page).
The idea is to declutter the area around the comic image—it had ended up sandwiched between lots of little text link rows—and to make the comic navigation easier and to maximize screen space for those reading the comic on mobile devices, which, according to my demographics, is now fully a quarter of you! (Well, in the US; globally, it's 21% of you.) That number includes myself, during the day, because I prefer to keep my computer off and just have my phone and tablet on hand for flipping through recent pages, checking reference images, and so forth as I work on drawing the latest page. And I think my sleepy brain swiped the the clicking-on-the-sides-to-turn-the-page scheme from the Marvel Unlimited comic reader app, which does just that as you read a comic on it—and so do most mobile app "print" comic readers I've tried.
One of the main things I have to do still with the relocated nav bar is to add little explanatory text and arrows pointing out the click-the-image navigation scheme; it's a fairly intuitive scheme, I think, but only if you actually know it's there. ; ) I'll be working on getting the remaining bits and pieces of this sudden switcheroo in place over the next few evenings, I think, and hopefully it'll all be squared away by X-Mas, when I'm taking a day off. If you are having trouble with this rejumbled comic navigation scheme in any way, please do let me know!
