- If the links along the bottom of the Webcomic don't work for you:
- Ensure that you allow pop-ups for this site (turn off pop-up blockers). If you are using Google Chrome, and click on a link such as "Print & Help," look for a notification box in the lower, right-hand corner that says "Pop-ups Blocked." Click on the notice and then on the webcomic url that appears. Do not click on the X within the notification box.
- If you can't see the navigation buttons along the bottom of the Webcomic:
- The Webcomic is designed to run optimally in a new browser window with minimal toolbars on a 1024 x 768 display.
- If the Webcomic is showing in a separate browser window, try resizing the browser window. The Webcomic should adjust to display within the window.
- If the Webcomic is showing within a browser tab, try resizing the browser window until the Webcomic shows or consider changing your browser setting to enable the Webcomic to display in a separate window. For example: in IE7 click Tools > Internet Options > Tabbed Browsing Settings > When a pop-up is encountered > Let Internet Explore decide how pop-ups should open.
