Nice catch, ExtraRoulette! You're the first to notice.

This project is new. My plan was to write a "comic generator", where I would just input parameters and it would generate the comics.

It worked even better than I expected. In the last 6 months, it has generated 2700 comics from my inputs.

Then I realized that if I launched 7/1/23, it would take 10 years just to post what I already had, even at one per day.

So I just reset my start date from 1/1/23 to 1/1/14. I wanted to launch with a lot of content so people could explore.

I also wanted the site to be evergreen which is why I try not to dig too deep into specific technologies. But COVID was obviously too big to ignore.

I sorted my backlog a few weeks ago based on many factors, but I guess 344 slipped through the cracks. I think I'll leave it there to see if anyone else notices.

Ah I see! The comics kinda have a "generated" vibe if that makes sense, since all the panels, characters, text is precisely in the same place.

I assume you just create a script with the dialogue and your program does the rest? That's neat!
