Wow, what’s with all the gloom and angst in the comic lately? Our luckless schlemiel is really twisting in the wind these days. That’s what schlemiels do, I guess. Maybe his fortunes will upgrade soon.

Speaking of upgrades, I made a couple of minor tweaks to the site and a major one: I finally wrote the code to embed the strip in the RSS feed. Good bye site views! Hello, happier readers! Tomorrow’s strip should turn up in the feed at midnight. Of course the whole thing might fall apart like a stained glass bumpercar, in which case I’ll flail madly at the code tonight and your feed reader may have a small pile of test posts in the morning. Ain’t technology rewarding?

I do have one request for you, my most praiseworthy audience. I’ve only tested the embedded strips in a couple of RSS readers. Please let me know if tonight’s feed looks funny in your reader. Let’s squash any bugs and get on with the ride. Muchas gracias.
