2005/11/11: Oh no! Robot!

So, yeah, OhNoRobot is the Mechanical Turk of the webcomic world. Searchable comics are good. Needing to transcribe everything myself is not so good. So it's pretty opportune that this would come up right now, since I've had various requests for making it searchable.

(For what it's worth, Eaveston, my first webcomic which I'm not going out of my way to preserve on the Internet, was fully-searchable, because I had an alternate text-only view of things. I really don't feel like doing that here though.)

Anyway, if you see a "transcribe comic" button, feel free to, well, transcribe the comic.

It'd be really nice if it supported Unicode text, though, rather than being the same old annoying ISO-8859-1 silliness which breaks the display of the title in basically everything.
