In the interest of perserving the history of P.O-T, I've collected the 
comics posted here into a single web page, located at 
http://www.pacificwebguy.com/news.php?readmore=44

:)

(PS If either of the authors ask me to remove these works, I'd willingly 
comply, though I think they're worth sharing).

It's a comfort level thing.  If they mention it to you, it's usually 
because you're *very* good friends (and I don't necessarily mean 
romantically).

That explains Faye and Martin then...

I've never lived with a girl, but... is it really true they become 
psychotic once a month? Or is that a myth?

Trust me, it's worth it.

Except... hmm... currently Tim is doing some random arc unrelated to 
anything else, which I'm not enjoying very much. Pitty.

I think web comics just inherantly seem better when you're reading the 
archives. You can quickly skip over the dull strips, and spend more time 
looking at the awesome ones. Once you get to having to actually wait 
each day for the next strip, it usually ends up being... an anticlimax.

It tooks like there's a character or two missing. (Clipped off the edge 
of the bubble or something?) As written, it doesn't appear parsable...

Depends on the girl.  Some, yes.  Others, no.

Maybe inconsistent, but certainly not a myth.

I stumbled(tm) on this today: http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/
That we have had a few comics here without the characters being visible, 
makes this somewhat relevant. And it mentions Haskell. ;)

Nah.

It's almost like "hey, my comic is just getting to some really 
interesting stuff... ah, screw it, I can't be bothered any more. Let's 
go do something completely random and unrelated just for a laugh."

Ah well, never mind.

Hmm. Well I was beginning to *think* I was some kind of web comic 
addict. However, having surfed almost all of the above, I failed to find 
any of them addictive. So maybe it's just that the few comics I've 
happened across are just particularly appealing to my particular brain 
dysfunction?

Well, it also gave him an accurate measure of how many people are 
interested (there were 40k votes).

A simple hit counter does that too. ;-)

[So you remember hit counters? Those used to be all the rage back in the 
1990s. Seems nobody's using them these days...]

They are just not shown on the actual page. Of course they take stats in 
the background.

Oh, sure, everybody has Webalyser or something now. But once upon a 
time, it was cool and trendy to have a little hit counter at the bottom 
of your page showing everybody how many trillion hits your page has had. 
It seems so tacky now... ;-)

   Our company has used TheCounter.com  for many years now for stats, we 
used it when it was free and then they started charging (without checking) 
$17 per year. It's quite good.

Heh. Every now and then a Google result leads me to an old site with 
lots of 16-colour animated GIFs and table layouts... Damn it looks so 
ancient by modern standards! Heh.

(And then, sometimes I visit *my* website. And it looks even lamer!)

I haven't read Misfile in a while, I should go back through the archive 
and pick up where ever I left off.

If you like stories like that, or just really outside the accepted norm 
stories, may I suggest:

http://www.thewotch.com/
http://www.wapsisquare.com/
http://www.abstractgender.com/ all but dead without an artist now
http://elgoonishshive.com/

less safe for work
http://queer.comicgenesis.com/
http://venusenvy.comicgenesis.com/

and then for the even more unsafe for work, and by that I mean don't 
read these at work at all:
http://www.tmi-comic.com/

and not a webcomic but a web novel

My favorite scene: Author posts a note he'll be away a couple weeks. 
In-strip narrator does a bit of ritual human sacrifice so he can talk to 
the audience without the artist interfering. Which you only see if you 
mouse-over the comic. Which goes away when the artist gets back.

The guy has a pretty sick imagination, altho it seems to have run down 
some and gotten kind of lame. The earlier arcs were edgier, and the 
latest one isn't bad, but ...

If the first strip is disturbing, I'd suggest not continuing.

A lot of times I go for the art more than anything else. If it doesn't 
look good, its too distracting for me, and I lose interest in the comic 
fast. This one isn't too bad. Might be worth adding to my comic list.

Heh, things got interesting after #500... Now at #660.

And impressively I'm also progressing in the "productive stuff"...

The strange thing is that last week I couldn't get anything done. This 
week I read the comic *and* did useful stuff :\

Don't be too hard on yourself, it could happen to anyone.

I'm not being hard on myself. It just makes little sense that I got a 
new distraction (thanks to the newsgroup mascot) yet got more productive.

But if I think "hey, getting distractions *makes me* more productive", 
probably that won't work well... (the whole "correlation does not imply 
causation" thing)

Hannelore Ellicot-Chantham. OCD sufferer. Likes cleaning things, and 
counting things. Also into stalking people. Shy, nervous, and 
occasionally terrifyingly assertive...

Damn, Hanners is SWEET! :-D

  Not someone I would want to marry, though. Having to live 24/7 with
such a person would quickly get into anyone's nerves.

Without the ultimate need to clean she could be a rocky one.

Oh, sure. She's cute, but he's a bit much to take 24/7...
