Nerd Theater

My friends and I write and draw a small web comic called Nerd Theater. We've been live since 2008, but I've been waiting for us to get a decent backlog of comics before doing any "advertising". There are two artists, myself being the one who draws the poorer looking comics (though I've gotten better). We don't bother with story-lines or continuity in general, though we each have recurring characters. The humor is fairly random and may be NSFW in a few cases (i.e. the T-Ray comic below). My favorite comics to date are: T-Ray It's a Web Comic, Charlie Brown! and If School Math Were Real Feel free to leave a comment or subscribe to our RSS feed. The update schedule is sporadic since we all have jobs and families, but we try to get one out every two weeks. Also, I've written all of the code for the web site, so any comments on its usability would be much appreciated. Enjoy!
Cool comics, I like them. Just one question, why do I need to have &#106avascript enabled to view the comics? =/ .

I liked a couple of them (the T-ray was great). I also like the comments area though it could get messed up with a lot of people.

Keep working at it, you've got good potential.
I like the style and the humors pretty good. Keep it up!
I liked the math joke :P

However you should change the URL so that linking works. Look into window.location.hash or something. This would also allow back/forward to work. <a href="http://assaultwars.com/&#106avascriptgame/tests/backforward.html">Example</a>. For instance #comic=24 would work.<br><br><!--EDIT--><span class=editedby><!--/EDIT-->[Edited by - Sirisian on March 16, 2010 1:02:49 PM]<!--EDIT--></span><!--/EDIT-->

Our humor is definitely not for everyone, but thanks for taking a look. The comments area has no checks on, so you can impersonate anyone. I might fix it someday if we ever have more than a handful of readers.

Thanks for the tip. I added a basic implementation of this idea with the hash just being the comic's date. It works in Chrome and Firefox for me; I'll have to test with IE later on.
