I like that these widgets — and the comic behind them — are getting recognition. One problem, though. The screenshot is of the wrong widget! Try to replace it. Good review.

A widget that displayed the full comic would increase our bandwidth costs without a corresponding benefit, as Nitrozac and I derive the bulk of our income from ads and the sale of spin-off merchandise like propeller beanies. :-) We also love it when fans do the JoyPoll, which is another way we can have a little fun with comic's subject matter. :D Thanks for the cool review Brett. :-)

He's not actually pulling in the entire comic, just the thumbnail. With the way Snaggy has the GC site set up, I think it would be quite a bit more complicated to get it to display the whole thing. Plus I think Snaggy prefers that people use the thumbnail. Bret,
