TODAY'S NEWS: First of all, let me say thanks to Reader NakedKali, who has been diligently transcribing comics! One of the hidden rewards of transcribing manifested this weekend. I hadn't identified the puppeteer who appeared in comics 630 - 633, but when I went out to validate the transcriptions, I saw that NakedKali had named him "Pierson." Which sounded good to me, so the character is now officially Pierson the Puppeteer.

Did you know that the entire Ask Dr. Eldritch archive is searchable? For example, if you entered "Cake" in the search field below, OhNoRobot would tell you that there are eight comics where that appears! And since all the comics are currently transcribed (except perhaps today's), you can search the entire text of the comic. Pretty cool, huh?
