Something seems a little different around here. If you’ve noticed a change in the site’s design, here’s why.
For the past week or so, we’ve been dealing with some issues caused by the theme we were using for the comic. Unfortunately, the developers behind DesignWicked, the theme we’ve relied on for a while, have announced that they are shutting down. Due to rising hosting costs and a lack of continued support, they can no longer work on WordPress themes.
So, after considering the situation, we’ve decided to transition to a new theme now rather than risk further issues with no future updates from DesignWicked.
We’ve worked hard to keep things as familiar as possible, but there are a few upgrades worth mentioning:
- Better Mobile Support: The site is now more responsive, improving your reading experience on phones and tablets. Plus, it should load faster!
- Improved Navigation: You can now click on the comic to move to the next page—something we’ve wanted for a while! You’ll also be able to bookmark your spot and easily access the archive.
- Dynamic Headers: With the ability to rotate header images, the site will look fresh every so often. It’s a small touch, but we’re excited about it!
- Streamlined Design: We’ve removed the sidebar to keep the focus on the comic, giving the site a cleaner, more minimalist feel.
- Improved Readability: The comic, Disqus comment section, and archive should all be easier to read with the new layout.
We’re confident these changes will make your experience here better. Thanks for your patience as we make this transition! As always, feel free to leave feedback or let us know if anything feels off!
