   That reminds me of a joke, but it’s really corny.

   “Still need common sense!”

   But that wouldn’t be nearly as fun.

   “No, I don’t think so. It’s drawn seemingly level.”

   The house I lived in when I was a teenager seemed level, but every time it rained a lot, one end of the house would get flooded, while the other end was dry. Granted, it wasn’t as flooded as in the strip, and there was a much longer distance from my bedroom to the kitchen at the other end of the house. It would have to be considerably slanted to explain the strip, but then there’s…

   “Suspension of disbelief”

   Yes, that.

   “What browser are you using? I use Firefox on Windows and tried adding the protocol back and right clicking didn’t do anything different.”

   I forgot to mention that you have to select it first. Try selecting the link I posted in the OP of this thread, starting with the H and ending with “ziggy”, and then right-clicking on it. Then try the same thing starting with the first W. To answer your question, I’m using Waterfox. It’s based on Firefox, and is pretty much the same thing, except it doesn’t force updates and I get to keep the tabs in a logical place.

   “If people see them. Spaces are one of the harder characters to notice. ”

   Good point. I usually do say to remove the spaces, but I occasionally forget to, as in this case.

   “The URL doesn’t work when you open it or GoComics doesn’t allow posting it?”

   The latter. What it takes to get links to post doesn’t seem to always be consistent. That’s why I often use a combination of things, like capitalization and spaces.

   “Either way, I don’t know why GoComics objects. ”

   I can think of three reasons. First, they don’t want people linking to their competitors (other comics sites). Before they started filtering URLs, I saw that all the time on strips that are not posted on Sundays (e.g. Fox Trot Classics). Someone would post “Here’s the strip we’re missing today”, and link to another site.

   Second, they don’t want people linking to sites with adult or illegal content (I haven’t seen such links here, but I can see why they would want to prevent them.)

   Third, if you know how, you can embed code into URLs that could mess with their servers.

   If I remember correctly, the computer gave the ultimate answer, but they neglected to ask the ultimate question. After talking it over, they decided on “How many roads must a man walk down?”

   “You also don’t need the protocol (http or https) ”

   If you type the URL or copy-paste it into the location bar, then you don’t need the protocol, but if you include it, you can right-click on it and select “Open link in new tab”, which you can’t do without the protocol. You’ll get a 404 error because of the spaces, but it’s easy to delete them. I’ve tried leaving out the spaces, but it doesn’t work consistently, only some of the time.

   I won’t be voting in November. I voted for the president of Iceland in June. I have a perfect voting record. The person I voted for has never won the elections.
