Whither the Random Comments Page
Everybody seems to have gone back to using the version linked to from the left sidebar — which makes sense, because it’s the only one anybody can find. And nobody (including me) likes the idea of linking to it from a post permanently on the front page.
So let’s just go back to using the old one.
There are drawbacks, among them comments not showing up on the Recent Comments list and the fact that there are already 46,000 comments there, but I’m just not going to have the time in the foreseeable future to find a workaround to WordPress’s refusal to let me change the links.

Yesterday, Francesco Marciuliano posted that a Utah newspaper objected to the first comic (the color one), so he had to rewrite the middle panel just for them.
Maybe it’s just me, but… while I like both versions, I think the second one is funnier.
Your thoughts?
Cervelle de veau. Just saying.

The New Random Comments Page
It now exists, but I’m still trying to link to it from the sidebar. I swear, WordPress is making it more and more difficult to do anything not in their suggested template.
Patio
I assumed this storyline existed because an accident actually took out Ces’s patio — but surely he doesn’t live in a universe where a contractor will do work without payment up-front.
At this point, of course, Jeremy is thinking “The @$!# Squirrel Must Die!”
