    Comic 200, yay!

    We wanted to do something extra special for this comic, we hope you like it. Special thanks to Jordan for writing the code that makes it work.

    It should work in Chrome, Firefox, Safari,and Internet Explorer 9. It doesn’t run on mobile devices or tablets. If you’re on one of these, check back later on a desktop. If you can’t see it, or find a bug, email us and we’ll try to fix it as soon as we can.

    I won’t be posting new comics for the next two weeks as I will be in Japan. If you want to know what I’m up to you can always follow me on twitter, and I might upload new sketches on my facebook page. In the meantime stay safe, and I’ll see you in two weeks time :)

    UPDATE: We now have a slighty-less-awesome but still pretty cool version running on Apple mobile devices! (still no Android, sorry guys :( )

    So, which one is it? My guess would be Enceladus, since Titan has too much yellowish atmosphere.

    Aside of that, really awesome work. Dips on it if they invent real 3D paintings where you can pass by while the angle changes.

    My dream retirement locale is Portugal! I have browse that it is THE place to retire in Europe due to a lower than average cost of living , a large coastline (so it's much easier to live close into the ocean), and less citizenship/visa red tape.

    Woah! The little loading notice was up -just- long enough that I thought it was a trick/joke (because of the note in 199's first comment saying how you and Jordan were hard at work on this one).

    But then I was like, "Woah! BADASS!"

    Just found your comic recently and am making my way through the archives still, but I love it!

    I think this might be broken. Parallaxes too much to the left now, the "behind the scenes" stuff is showing, if you get my drift.. ^^

    I don’t know what to do, it just says 31/31 on my Apple device. It won’t load past that. Is it supposed to?
