Episodes now with transcripts

Posted: 1 month ago

I've started adding transcripts to comics. Currently only new comics will have transcripts, but gradually I'll add transcripts to the archives. You can choose to "Show" or "Hide" transcripts, which will save a cookie to your browser ("Show stores the cookie, "Hide" deletes it). Transscripts are visible on the episode pages (permalinks) only, and not on the home page.

I made a bathroom. I actually made a loo! Apparently, it's the only bathroom on Tranquility Base and it only has one cubicle.

Where are the urinals? This is a rough-and-ready space station, there is no such thing as a "Gents" or "Ladies", so no urinals - besides, going to the loo in a spacesuit requires complicated procedures best left done in private.

Some of you who read this episode when it was first published may remember that Ensign Hudson's uniform was red, but it now appears to be blue. This is a retcon (retroactive continuity), or "reframing past events to serve a current plot need," due to how the Ensign Hudson episodes will develop in the future. Something I do with no shame if necessary - but only for cosmetic reasons.
