The only thing it is missing is the "comic button" that was already stated above. Who invented this? I want to know because this is the most convenient webcomic I have ever seen.

I just started reading this comic last week, and you know what....I used the same button "Lost? Click here to start from the beginning". I think that it is in a premo spot...it is large and easy to read. No searching for the tiny print. And guess what...I am no longer "lost". Just ignore it and take it with a grain of salt. If it bothers you that much....make your own site the way that you want it. Honestly if it bothers you that much, the comic doesn’t hold your interest.

I'm a big computer-interface guy, and 99% of the time websites tick me off. This is simpler, cleaner, and easily as functional. Keep it. As to the image-being-'next' idea, I usually like it. I have a distinct preference for links on the outside quarter-ish widths pointing next AND previous, though. For example: |back|____|____|next|. If you want to make the links obvious, a bit of CSS trickery can give semitransparent hover effects, indicating the link (despite my preference for PNG, use GIF if you do this. Not all browsers support PNG properly, and even fewer for the more advanced CSS capabilities). This implementation works for me.

That way your drunken readers don't even need to be fully conscious to click through the strips. It's pretty convenient. It doesn't have to actually say next of be a button, of course. Just magically be clickable to have the desired effect. You guys should jump on the big, sexy trend of making the comic panel into one big, sexy NEXT button.

I'm almost tempted to start writing a bunch of scripts for Greasemonkey to yank out those buttons for those people who don't like them. At least until the comic authors remove them, anyhow.
