Nocturnally lame.

Nocturnally lame.

I stayed up way too friggin’ late and, between diaper changes (my baby’s, not mine) I managed to get transcripts and hovertext entered for all of the strips in the archive. This means that the text of the comics is now searchable. If you remember a word or two of the dialogue, you can enter it into the search box at the top right of the page, and pull up any strip where I used those words.

To ensure that I haven’t wasted all this time for nothing, I’ve devised my first ever Suburban Panic reader contest. The rules are these:

  1. Use the transcript search box to find a strip in the archives.
  2. Leave a comment on the strip, telling me what words you searched for.
  3. The person whose search I find the most interesting gets to be drawn in as a cameo in an upcoming strip. (By interesting, I mean what fun, funky words or combinations thereof can you look for that will return a result?)

Simple, right? And it means that (hopefully) the search feature will be used at least once, and I won’t have entirely wasted the last three nights. So get to searching, and if you notice any transcription errors, feel free to point them out.

EDIT: Contest is now closed. Thanks to everyne who played.

P1. I managed to get transcripts and hovertext added for all of the strips in the archive.

P2. Fatherhood hasn't changed me much. I'm still really boring. Now I'm just really boring late at night.
