Pax doesn't have its own forum yet so I'll post here if that's OK.

Thanks for the comic. It looks cool, and I think it deserves to be popular.

I think it'd be nice if the comic had visibility to fans of dragons, but I don't think they're likely to just stumble across it. It's nowhere in the likely Google searches that dragon fans might use, e.g. "dragon webcomic".

I'm not sure what would help. Maybe change the Meta Description in the HTML? The current text is: "Pax Draconica - a comic from the creators of Project Future". That's accurate but not really helpful for searches. And it's only on the home page, not the individual strip pages as well. Google will use the Meta Description for its "snippets", according to their web developer documentation, but only if their algorithm thinks it "gives users a more accurate description than would be possible purely from the on-page content".

Searching Google for "Pax Draconica" directly currently gives the latest strip as the topmost result and for its "snippet" text, it's showing: "As the villain of nearly every religion, Fiskul knows a thing or two about prejudice". I presume it's using that because being the earliest comment, it's present on the webpage of every strip, and maybe Google's algorithm thinks it looks more "descriptive" than the Meta Description (which, as I've said, isn't present on that latest strip anyway).
