When Recusal Isn't Enough

Help Desk, by Christopher B. Wright

Comic Transcript

JUDGE: I have neen informed by my Bailiff... and my wife... and a few of my colleages on the bench... and a number of lawyers who DON'T fill me with despair every time they speak... that I probably shouldn't decide the outcome of this case based on a simple coin-toss.

JUDGE: As I am to be denied that one, small, mercy. I must find a way to resolve this problem in a way that preserves the integrity of this court.

JUDGE: To that end I'm going to call a recess, drink the two bottles of Scotch I have hidden in my desk, and God willing get myself disbarred by Noon.

Missing panel

The last panel is missing

Judge: "Bailiff, I ask you once again to remove the safety glass from the window before we go."

Hah!

I wonder if it would be possible to set up an area where people can add their own dialog to my comics. That would be kind of neat.

To the text editor! My first

To the text editor!

My first post is showing me as one of those geeky programmer types, typical :)

But with the help of Binky

But with the help of Binky please :)

Hey skipper looks like you want to add your own dialog. How can I help you?

Re Write your own adventure...

I can see one way but it would change the way you do the comic. Instead of intergrating the text into the comic it's self you would have a text field overlaying the comic where text from a database would be displayed. If possibe I wouldn't set a limit on the number of fields for text or set them to a really high number. It would also allow easy transcripting.

You asked if it was possible, not if it would be easy.

Alternatively you could have 2 systems, 1 with what you do now and one with comic "blanks" that people can add text to

May you live in interesting times.

Another alternative..

Or.... and this is a radical suggestion... we could just go on trusting the creativity of the creator of the strip and leave the technology alone...

That gets my vote.

(I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't help but be amazed at how well Christopher has maintained the high quality of the ideas in the strip over such a long period.)

Trust Chris

Hey, he's the guy that suggested adding text to his comics... Maybe he wants us to entertain him for a change. :)

May you live in interesting times.

Nah!

Nah!

He was just being sarcastic!

Well... not exactly...

I *do* think it would be kind of neat. Not neat enough to completely restructure my comic and put in a back-end and turn it into a community-driven webcomic. (Hm... wikicomic. Interesting thought.) But as something to do once and a while, it would be interesting.

Thing is though, I don't have the time to set that up (and I don't want to radically change the site at this point) so it's not going to happen.
