Superad?

Yes, I finally removed the sidebar ad that "follows you" on the AGC homepage. Not that I was getting a lot of outcry, but I gave it enough time to prove that it wasn't generating enough revenue to be worth the various problems that it caused on many browsers. So it's gone.

In other news, with great appreciation to a few readers who contributed (some of them contributing a lot), we're up to 100 AGC comics transcribed to Oh No Robot, the tool that makes individual webcomics searchable by text. Considering that your average AGC strip is a big blob of text, the ability to search for a key word or two to find the one you want sounded pretty darn useful to me. So at some point in the near future, I'll be adding this search bar to the comic viewer and/or mainpage somewhere. I'll also try to keep transcribing a couple more strips every day (I can do the more recent ones at a pretty good pace, because for most of them I have the scripts and can do it... it's the older ones that I would have to do from scratch, because the text scripts either don't exist, or are in paper form).

NEW LOOK FOR agc.deskslave.org

I finally made the big site update I've been wanting to make. There are obvious changes to the layout of the site, much nicer navigation bars, and a lot of the random stuff has been consolidated (and better organized) on a page called... random stuff. Go ahead and let me know what you think.

The biggest change is probably the AGC comic archives... instead of the old dumb page, there are now Next/Prev buttons and the ability to jump to a specific comic by typing the number in the box. Of course, to do this I've had to renumber the comics, which means that (after a short transition period), the old links (ex: agc.deskslave.org/comics/AGC26-9.html) will stop working. The comics now have simple numbers, and are addressed in this format:

Anyway, I'll probably be updating the Excerpts in a similar fashion soon, but I'm sure I'll have a lot of bugs to track down in the meantime. In the meantime, enjoy today's comic too!

AGC #348: Let the Wookie Win

EDIT: Oh yeah, you may notice that a few of the comics have "author's notes" underneath. While I set it up to allow me to do that, don't go nuts looking for them because I've only done three or four near the beginning. That's something I'll probably fill in gradually over time.
