Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I think so.
The other sorts of distinctive not-plot features I could think of would be particularly unusual panel layouts - the strip of Roy falling, the one of the two armies having parallel conversations before the battle of Azure City, the one in the pyramid where the panel layout follows the swirl of the ensorceled eye, etc.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Those are indeed distinctive, but they're also easily referenced in the summaries. The summary for 887, for example, clearly mentions the layout.
Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I agree. And even when not described as directly as that, the summaries as they exist make it easy to find those distinctive moments, because those special layouts were designed to serve the plot's dramatization: Therefore, the layout is strongly associated with the plot in the mind of the readers.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
While most or all readers should be aware that Mr. Scruffy is the name of a housecat, it's less-well-known that Little Whiskers is the name of a tiger, which I think is important for that sentiment to be communicated clearly. The intention was probably the symmetry of using both given names, but I think it would be better to use both species' common names. I suggest "Back on the Mechane, the housecat shows the tiger who's boss."
By the way, this index has been extremely useful to me.Last edited by rodneyAnonymous; 2015-06-15 at 09:22 PM.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
To account for crayon ambiguity, I propose the following amended version:
991: Uncle "Squeaky" Thirden's account of what happened to Durkon's parents, Sigdi and Tenrin, with subtext.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Frankly, that level of detail belongs in the transcript. When we try to shoehorn every little matter into a summary, we give up on usability.
I don't think the summary needs to be a full and exact account. Also, the doubts you're talking about may well be warranted, but they account to little more than speculation at this point. However, there's a small chance that Thirden's name is useful for search purposes. Let me offer this compromise:

I'm not even sure where it would belong in the transcription...though maybe the Annotation?

992: Welcome to Zenith Peak. [Insert superlative here]!
Gets across both of the things this strip is likely to be remembered for.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Can I suggest we don't use an acronym? Acronyms are for insiders. The audience of the summaries is wider, I think. We can't assume everybody automatically understands "HPOH". I'd write "High Priest of Hel" in full.
