For those who haven’t heard, it seems that Wikipedia has decided that webcomics aren’t an important enough part of culture to be in their encyclopedia.
As I strongly disagree, I have saved one article that hasn’t been deleted yet and I ask you to do the same. I’ve saved El Goonish Shive. (Gzip-compressed Konqueror WAR bundle)
UPDATE: Here are some posts on the Schlock Mercenary blog about the problem:

Konqueror with Bookmarklets
If you’re a Konqueror user and a power user or geekier, then you’ve probably noticed, as have I, that bookmarklets (javascript bookmarks, for the buzzword-deficient) don’t work. You’ve probably also wondered “What the heck is that Minitools thing from konqueror-addons?”
The answer? Minitools is Konqueror’s term for bookmarklets. It’s a separate bookmarks tree where you put javascript bookmarks so that they can force-disable Javascript in the regular tree for improved security. Now the only problem is accessing them in a comfortable fashion. Here’s my solution:
- Enable
Settings --> Toolbars --> Extra Toolbar (Konqueror)

First, for those who got here through the category system, some people consider Gold Digger to be “American Manga” and I tend to agree. Now, on with the post.
It’s an epic. It’s a comedy. It’s silly. It’s awe-inspiring. It’s sad. It’s sweet…. It’s Gold Digger by Fred Perry.
Gold Digger is an amazing North American comic. It has a manga-like art style, it’s been full-color since it’s 51st issue, it’s still going strong, and it’s the most amazing epic you’ll ever read. I dare not elaborate, for it will spoil some of the surprise, but I can tell you that Fred Perry is either the world’s best plotter, or a master of retconning.

For those who are unaware, I originally gained an interest in anime, manga, and fanfiction because Ranma ½ was a gender-bending story. At the time, I was obsessed with the inherent possibilities for character interaction, character development, and humor. (I still am to some extent)

Sexual Endeavours by Ichinohei Hitomi
Anyone who reads a lot of Ranma and Sailor Moon fanfiction will agree that there are very few Ranma “fukufics” where Ranma becomes a magical girl voluntarily. In fact, most people will point to only three really good ones:
- The Best of Times by Ozzallos (Where Ranma infiltrates the senshi using a tailored costume, the Gekkaja and Kinjakan, and his skils in order to learn more about Sailor Pluto, the woman who is responsible for his never having a moment’s peace)
