    That IS a problem.

    The easy solution is "Get webspace and make it into a full-blown webcomic".

    Like the Foglios' comic Girl Genius - it updates several times a week and is an ongoing story.

    I'll say I like having to click separate links to each page as it means my computer doesn't heave every time I open the thread, however, I also think moving to your own web host at this point isn't a horrible idea. Hosting costs about seven bucks a month if you know where to look. It would also be a good way to keep all of your stories "out there" for anyone to peruse at their leisure.

    If you decide to go that route, and need a hand setting up, PM me. I'm a webmaster by day, so could help out if you decide to go that route.

    Great continuation Shane!

    I do like it better the other way, but I'll adjust if you leave it this way too :)

    Well, the consensus is clearly that point and click isn't working for quite a few of you, so I'll try plan b. I've reduced the images to 800 pixels in width. The type is small, but readable. I'll up the point size in future panels. I'm sorry that the format experiment has distracted from the enjoyment of the plot. Hopefully this has ironed all of that out.

    The claw hands are actually taken from the Obsidian screen capture that I found on Wikipedia, so they're based off the hands he had in the show. They're meant to be retractable like the show (explaining why we've rarely seen him with hands in the past :)  ). He just needed to be able to show some more emotion for the sig pic I had in mind, and for the story, and giving him his hands did the trick.

    I don't care which format you use, just don't ever stop making them!

    Just looking there - they mention the DMCA as a barrier to stuff involving sprite/game based comics. Would that extend to toys as well, especially in this context?

    Page setup works great! Cheetor's got himself in an awkward situation.

    plan b is a good comprimise, no dodgy clicking, and good for the poor saps still using dial up.
