Shall I add it to my list of things to do? :-/
If you can spare the time, it would be hellishly useful.

I see a pretty perky wingspan in today's comic... :)

Oh, and there's the bonk to the head.

You know what would absolutely rock, llearch?  A search engine which uses your radio transcripts and returns the strip number and a link to the page in the DMFA archive for each matching strip.
I think that's what Oh No Robot does. I'm not familiar with it, but it may be worth looking into for you guys.

I just have one question. When do we get the wall paper with him dressed like that without the bars.  :mwaha
Also i just had a funny thought *funny to me anyway* what if that outfit Dan had for Mabs back here http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_120.php was a gift to him from the Amazons for helping the others captured.  :erk  Now only if i could draw that......

We should put that link in it's own thread and sticky it, so it's handy for future reference (same goes for the WikuWiki...no handy links to that either that I know of.)

So glad they desided not to go all out with the make-up and the "Nice legs" jokes.

I gotta say, those new robes DO look snazzy on Dan. Barring the flower, I can't see what he's so worked up over.

Oh, wait, I know! He's not angry at being dressed up as a girl, he's angry because they dressed him up as a WIZARD.

Its not over the lady sings! And that lady is Dan :3

I've added a list of such resources to the wiki itself, and linked it to the main page.  That doesn't solve the link-to-the-wiki problem, but IMHO it's a step in the right direction.  I may add a link in my sig if I can fit it, but I'm not hopeful...

I think that's what Oh No Robot does. I'm not familiar with it, but it may be worth looking into for you guys.

OhNoRobot isn't quite that; it also requires that Amber do a whole bunch of changes to her site to embed the code into every page.

Since she currently has every page as a separate file, that means editing well over 1000 files. Which would suck.

It also means someone has to take the radio scripts and copy them into OhNoRobot...

(note: Jigsaw has ONR on her site; it works, kinda, but isn't always up, and adds a bunch of sometimes questionable javascript to the pages; if it failed cleanly when the js wasn't available, I wouldn't be so annoyed at it. But that's another story. Also, it doesn't search as well as one might hope.)

Useful, and neat, but doesn't use the current script format, and runs totally separate, hence requiring dual input of data. Hence, not optimal, but a good starting point. ;-]

Having said that, you've got a lot further along with it than I have, so who am I to complain? ;-]

My dad did most of the work on the search.  We started with your radio scripts for the dialog and have just been adding the new dialog as we go.

Only if the sound effect in the third panel was "chunk". :3 Actually, it sould be read as "klunky" now that Dan has started to "klunk" people on the heads! >:3

And, Dan's outfit reminds me of this one:

http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_131.php

Nah. Dannie's current outfit lacks bunny slippers (at least I think it does). But, aside from that minor shortcoming Dan's outfit is superior.

I mean that will two sets of clothes on he will not exactly look streamline, if you know what I mean.

Constantly. what makes it worse is when i get the feeling that that punch line was just at my expense.
I thank Silver Fox and Tiger_T for the wonderful Yappies.  all around the universe powers learned to hiss and curse at this, my creation but am i real or pure creation?
 I'm never where i was, rarely where i want to be, but always were i am needed.
 this world is not my own. but some how i wish that i could belong. Blame It On Boxey

Heh. My personal choice would be to grab the head and bring it back in contact with the bars, but simply hitting it works, too. *grin*

And I'm not sure that's a flower. I think that's his hair tied up with a ribbon or something, but I will admit it's a poor angle to viewing, so it could be a flower.

Looks good on him, though. ;-]

It looks almost llike a ponytail, if that's a ribbon...
