You know, either:
 
 
a) I'm REALLY dumb (98% probability) and I simply can't find the comments on this comic (or any other for that matter now "it's come to this" (the Wiki).  Or...
 
 
b) (2% probablity) nobody else has managed to work out how to comment yet either.  Is this the way to do it? (seems logical) or is option a) corect?  In which case, can someone give me a Noddy's Guide to how to find the comments and add them, please?
 
(Obviously kindly delete this if option a) is indeed correct!)  Steve B.
 
 
If only there were some sort of Discussion page where comics could be discussed.  There could be a convenient link at the top of the page right next to a link back to the comic page itself.  Maybe it could be colored red to stand out from the rest of the page.
