Oh yes, this is definitely all of us when meeting Kyra. I suppose we would all be a little starstruck. Or maybe we would rush in for a hug or a high five? Would she dodge it or hug back with a roll in her eyes. Or maybe your head would roll because she’s not in the mood. Naw, I’m sure most of us would stand there like a bunch of goofballs like this guy. I guess we’ll see HOW goofy in next week’s update!

Heh, yup. It’s likely this guy represents the kind of gleeful excitement of meeting Kyra many of us would portray indeed.
I think on the spectrum I would halfway between this guy and Paul.
I would probably be way too touchy on that tail, and asking way too many stupid-from-Kyra’s-perspective questions like “what’s it like to have one?”. At least Kyra would probably agree with me how sad it is that humans have no tails of their own ????
I’m sure she’d say it’s amazing and go on a rant on how sorry she feels for us humans. How do we not constantly fall down without a counterbalance? Must be what our big guts and butts are for.
Poor Bill has the scars to prove it’s not always good to be touched by a dinosaur.
And that was when she was a baby too! Scared to see what she could do someone now. Might even … make them cry!
Hey Andrew, I don’t know if you are able to do anything about this, but every time I come to this site my browser warns me that the site is “Not Secure”.
All wordpress sites by default are “not secure” which isn’t completely true, they just aren’t by Chrome’s standards of it not being an https site. Buying an SSL certification subscription would fix everything, but since it’s just comments I don’t think it’s fully necessary. If I had an on site store or something fancier it would be a must have though.
According to Computerworld, there’s a way to get a free certificate from a non-profit organization called “Let’s Encrypt”, which was founded in 2014.

You may want to try it. Not having HTTPS hurts your Google search ranking:
“Google started to use HTTPS as a search ranking signal in 2014, meaning that websites available over HTTPS get an advantage in search results over those that don’t encrypt their connections.”
And HTTPS isn’t just for protecting financial transactions. It can also protect users against malicious content:
“One of the major benefits of HTTPS is that it protects users against man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks that can be launched from compromised or insecure networks. … some Wi-Fi hotspot operators and even some ISPs use MitM techniques to inject ads or various messages into users’ unencrypted web traffic. HTTPS can prevent this.”

But even if it is actually harmless, aren’t you afraid the message is going to scare off potential new readers?
Perhaps, but almost all the webcomics I read say “not secure” as well. It’s something worth looking into at least.

Your webcomic is protected by a different kind of SSL: Super Scary Lizard
As an avid reader of webcomics I ask, could the front page direct to the newest strip please? It would make checking for new strips so much faster. Thanks.
The problem is that I don’t do “newest pages” anymore, it’s bulk uploads every Monday which is usually two comics. So if I change the basic settings to “newest page” it would show page 938, skipping page 937 that was updated at the same time. I’m sure there’s a way to make the front page show 937 but will probably take some programming. Hopefully the big button on the front page to take to the new pages will do for now.
How the world has evolved! There’s Kyra denialists and everything!
