Hi guys,

Sorry if this is something that's already been discussed.

I can't find any way to tell where one book ends and another begins on the comic archive page (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html).

I was thinking it would probably be a useful feature to have. I fancied reading the latest storyline again from the start (i.e. when they first got to the Western Continent).

Sure, it wouldn't take all that long to, you know, go through them and find the start point, but it would be a pretty nifty feature for the website to have :smallsmile:. Failing that, a stickied thread on here would be cool.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

I don't think it is so necessary. IMHO there will be no more than seven online books, so that's six ends, tops. I don't think that is enough for any special feature or so. Anyway, the dividing stips are something like 123, 301, 485 and 673.

If you're just reading, they should be fairly obvious. 120 and 300 out-and-out tell you so on the page, and the two strips before planned breaks, 484 and 672, mark logical dividing lines as well.

But only if you read them. There's no way to look at the archives list and go, "oh, comic 484 is the beginning of such and such an arc".

...Not even the big "The Order of the Stick will return..." panel?

I believe ClockShock means there is no way to tell while looking at the archive page (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html).

Not that there's no way to tell while reading all the individual comics.

Quite right, and that in turn is what I believe the OP was talking about.
The link was a bit of a give-away to be honest.
