First strip and forward? Backwards from the current? Start at a random point? Skip around? Does it depend on the type of comic you're reading, or the size of the archive?

Hey man. Saw a hit from your boards and thought I'd stop by. This one is all me right here.

Read backwards for a few strips, then go to the first and start from there

Seriously. Every single comic. I've read so many webcomics. Every single one that is how I do it.

You know why though? I like to see where people are at, and then how it started. It makes me appreciate the first 25 episodes so much more. Cuz thats about how long it takes someone to get settled in their art, about 25 episodes.

Erm anyway, I'm rambling. I hope you're doing alright dude, I'll ttyl

That's generally how I do it too - though sometimes if it's a new comic I'll go right to the first one and read from there, or if I click an ad that takes me to a specific strip in a comic's archive.

Thanks for stopping by! Smile

It depends on how far behind that I am. If I'm not too far behind, I'll use "previous" to catch up. If I've missed a bunch, then I'll jump back to somewhere just before I missed and start reading from there to the present.

If I'm just starting to read a new comic and a few strips in the present look interesting, I'll jump back to the beginning and work my way forward.

Btw, I haven't seen Emmit in a while, what happenned to him?
