    Default Direct link to newest Comic?

    Previously, I could use this url to go directly to the newest comic - .giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript (pretend there is a www in front of giantitp) but it now directs me to a broken link page.

    Is this intentional, or is there a new url for the latest comic? I only ask cuz I'm super lazy and have folders set up on my Chrome Favorites bar to open all bookmarks in that folder at the same time so I can keep track of what I've read that session.

    That link was technically dead over a decade ago. It only redirected to the real redirect, https://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootslatest.html.

    Lol. I've been using a dead link for over a decade. Geez, now I feel really really old. Thanks for the update!

    Just curious, what finally broke the redirect to the redirect?

    FWIW, I came to the forum to report the same thing. It'd be helpful if there was a "latest" button somewhere on the site had this link in it... I can't find it on the site as is.

    Is it just me or is https://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootslatest.html no longer working? It's taking me to 1199, not 1200.

    The sidebar doesn't show 1200, either, and the "go to next comic" and "go to last comic" buttons have no effect.

    It sends me to 1200. Try clearing your browser's cache.
