Okay, yes, sometimes Winter weather sucks. Sometimes it's a little slippery and hard to see. You can't control that. But you know what you can control? You can wipe off a larger-than-postage-stamp sized clear area on your windshield. You can actually turn on your rear defroster. You can stop stomping on the gas and brake pedals. And you can hang you cellphone the hell up and stop complaining to your BFF about the weather. Hey! Suddenly it's really not so bad out!
The new comments don't look too bad, I suppose. Supposedly I'm able to change its appearance and coloration with CSS but I'm being met with very limited success in that venue. I'll tinker with it from time to time. As for the one comment about "why not switch" - we have 500+ comics with comments that would disappear, not to mention the 100+ articles' worth of comments on the essentially-no-longer-updated main site. It would suck to lose them. But, oh well. It is what it is. Thanks everyone for all your support!
