For the record, this comic was created on April 4th, 2006, over a year before this site was launched, and Tale of the Cave was released to the public.

... Where's the comic?

It's not here nor on the main site, well I can't see it.

Same here. I've tried going to the file directly, and saving the file to my desktop. It appears the server is cutting the files down to 222 bytes, thus obviously corrupting it beyond display. (That is, the file itself is bigger, about 10k, but it's not all actually being sent.)

I think I've discovered the issue, and I've e-mailed Mike.

Hooray for little tiny icon sized comics.  Assuming this is the same comic as he originally posted at the old site... NICE START!!!  :-)  Hope you're right aawood.

File directory?  As in you indexed the site?  I didn't think Mike allowed that?  At anyrate, no, I can't see it either.  I know it 'was' working at one point.  We'll just have to wait for Mike and his 'technomancer' skills to show up.


EDIT: I see it now   Cliche...but still oh so funny <_<

Ok, here's what was going on.

Sort of. I have a script that checks the date of a comic against the file, so that you can't, say, view comic #2, when it's not due until Wednesday.

Unfortunately, I neglected to test against anything except comic 1, and coded a bug into it, and blah blah blah, and it failed miserably when I released it into the wild. (For reference, the return value of preg_match is not the first matched number, it's whether or not it failed >_>)

*watches explanation fly over head*

Hey look...I can see a comic now 

Oh, and I never thought to ask.  Are these posted daily...weekly?

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Ha, neat. What a way to wake up. That can't even equate to a cold shower. No Folgers for Quote. :P Personally, I don't like the thin black line separating the four panels. It kinda makes the panels bleed into each other, especially with the dark backgrounds. I think something more noticeable would have been preferable. Well, that's just me and you did make the comic a year ago. I'm liking the looks of this comic so far though. ^_^

I'm probably weird but I sorta wish that the frames bled into each other even harder than they do right now... So that it's like one picture but because you're smart you realize it's 4... like we're unravelling a mystery!  :-D

The ghost image of quote, as he flips and falls is actually pretty good.
Using photoshop I presume?

File directory?  As in you indexed the site?

Nope, I just looked at the picture details, noticed what directory it is on the site, and browsed to it. No indexing required; it's the default behaviour of Apache to bring up a file listing of a directory it's serving when a particular index html/php/whatever file isn't found.

Which reminds me, I need to pop in a redirect to prevent just that

Funny.
One hell of a wake-up call, in my opinion.
