Lupin trolling Helen’s spy satellite is one of the most Spy Vs Spy moments in the entire strip.

Josh: And even now in late 2017 some of the Sunday images are missing.

There’s still a few holes even now. Also a couple of sundays with the images in the wrong places.

In reply to Amy Fiori. That's because this version of the site was rebuilt from an archive I made a couple of years ago, and it turns out that my archive had a few holes. They'll most likely get filled back in when Shaenon has time to find and re-upload the missing strips. (The rebuild is also why most of the comments are dated July 8; anything newer than that has been left since the rebuild and anything from that day is a comment that was there when I made the archive, and didn't have any date associated with it on the original site.)

All I can see for the first strip is a message saying “No image available.” I’ve been reading from the beginning, and I’ve gotten that message in a couple of Sunday pages too, but this is the first place I’ve seen it in the daily strips. I don’t remember having that problem the last time I read Narbonic online, but that was a year or two ago, and it looks like the site’s been redesigned since then. Is it just me, or is anyone else having trouble seeing some images here? If it’s just me, any ideas about how I can fix it? If it matters, I was using Google Chrome originally, then switched to Internet Explorer to see if it would help. (It didn’t.)

The only problem with doing the shoulder sprites is that they tend to really clutter up a panel.

Which is much of their charm! "See, this is why I try not to think".

(TUNE: "Hollywood Nights", Bob Seger)

I got an evil side, says "You should kill and kill and kill!"
I got a good side that says "Let her go!"
I got a social life, says "If you go out, then you will
Get us shot down by a hot-looking ho!"

I got personal sprites!
Both the good and the bad,
And my social life gripes
'Bout the fun I ain't had!
Yeah my personal sprites
They keep bothering me!
On those Saturday nights
When I play with my Wii ...

Saturday:

Personality sprites: 9. As they're supposed to represent the subject's internal conflict with a weighty moral dilemma, I'm not sure why they've manifested in this episode if the only competition to Good's argument is just "Kill! Kill!". It seems unlikely that Dave would be particularly compelled by that.

You know, it's a wonder this webcomic never employs any floating advisors representing the subject's imagined conception of another character.

I think Dave’s shoulder devil has been hanging out with Mell’s.
