There are archives I've started and abandoned because I couldn't find the place where I left off. I'd love to get in on OhNoRobot, if for no other reason than Ryan was very helpful when I corresponded with him about it, but the upshot of the correspondence was that I need to learn PHP before OhNoRobot is an option for me. (Meanwhile, if you're ever looking for a particular <i>AKOTAS</i>, there are email and message board links on the website for you to reach me, and I keep a spreadsheet.)

Jeff once remarked on the importance of infrastructure, including navigation, forum, and blurb space. And I’ve written about the importance of legibility in artwork. But what else is necessary for a really good webcomic?
