The lost comic

New page

I sincerely believe that we should place this comic here due to this comic, while apparently part of the 5-minute comic series, is not a numbered one, despite still being one by Randall Munroe:

		+	::I perceive a bit of a garden path to my earlier comment, so just FYI:
		+	::*Of course every comic explanation page for "Extras" will have full details of "This is outside the normal release, because <blah>", or whatever.
		+	::*This also applies to "Deleteds"
		+	::**...which may or may not be a subset of the "Extras" - I'd class bonus comics separate from removed/replaced comics, normally, although there has been a one-day bonus comic which inhabits both sets quite obviously.
		+	::*Within these two Cats, we obviously want to avoid saying "<link>Comic X</link> was extra/deleted because... <link>Comic Y</link> was, because... <link>Comic Z</link>, because..." ''just'' above the list that consists (mostly?) of X, Y and Z links, seemingly already covered by the linking prose above.
		+	::*However, perhaps remove the specifics and just summarise that "known reasons for <the special status of these comics> have been: ...", sufficient to generalise the full details as written up here (or past versions of here) ''and'' the full-blown Explanation version.
		+	::*As future bonuses/deletions happen, normal Cat-adding will put them in the auto-list but it'll need intervention to determine if you need to add to the reason summary (say "typo, misclico, change of mind" hypothetically at least) with any additional classification ("corporate malfeasance"?
