I posted the comments in a separate post, 15 minutes after I posted the actual strips. In any case, the post with the comments is called "Re: Nerd Boy blah blah"... Next time, I'll just put the comments in the same post, but after all the last strips. Like pasting together the two posts I sent now. -jg

When I introduced the numbers, I just let the layout resemble the website. On nerdboy.n3.net, I have: --- Episode X (Month Day Year) [Comic] --- I just think it's more natural to have the number of the episode first; it's like a heading. Did you really read the comment for 222 before reading the actual strip? Why? If you expected the format you're suggesting, didn't you notice that there was nothing at all before the "comment nr", as you call it? What did you expect to find in the comment? -jg
