It must have gone missing. It’s there now. =)

What happened to the strip for 2008-06-26 (But I don’t wanna not grow old!)?

Could we get a new “Forums” item added to the Links dropdown on the top menu? One that goes to the old Forum, and one that goes to the old Wapsi Pub forum? At least until something official happens. Commenting here is nice, but there’s no place to do off-topic stuff.

I like the new look very much…
…the new naming-convention in the archives is a bit of a problem, though.
Descriptive labels are nice, but the loss of the old [yyyymmdd]-format as an option makes it a bit more trouble for me to keep track of the comic’s progress, since I can’t visit each-&-every day.

LOL I noticed the pic of Monica changed in the top graphic from “hooker” to “schoolgirl”. Was that in response to my earlier comment, or does Paul plan to change it every week? Either way, I like the juxtaposition.

Those were the images available to Frumph when he was designing the page for me. I’m working on other pics for those places.

It’s your artistic decision, but I think it makes it look wonky, not ‘snazzy’, and, well, like an afterthought.

Except for the little picture of Monica in the headline graphic. She looks like a hooker.
I thought that too. I don’t see anything seriously wrong with the occasional fanservicey pic, but when the two permanent images on every page are the heroine looking sexy in fishnets and the heroine looking sexy in a strapless bikini, it sends the message the comic is about the heroine being sexy, rather than being about a heroine who deals with serious problems and happens to have an idealised body type.

But that’s what a lot of people had bookmarked, on account of it being the old home page. Same with the old RSS feed dying: that’s how people got here, it could very well lose Paul readers, especially the RSS thing, I know I’ve lost track of several webcomics whose feed didn’t agree with my new RSS reader, and if I hadn’t happened to want to re-read the last few comics, and come to the page, I would have let the defunct RSS feed sit in the reader and assumed there are no new updates, for a while at least.

Looks great. Only one problem: my old bookmark pointed to “index.html”, which doesn’t exist now. You should probably put a page there with a redirect to the new default page.
