@VyrCossont True. Wonder if this ties in with my fondness for animation.. ?
I keep wishing comics like Goodbye to Halos had wikis able to give full background on why some plot point is significant, able to just bring me to the McGuffin's own page, showing info like where it's appeared. Even a much more straightforward work like Space Boy's been running long enough now, and only weekly, that a running synopsis to make revisiting particular moments easier than trawling through the archive thumbnails would be so helpful. (Even being able to trivially download the whole run would be useful, scanning through a /local/ archive being that much more nimble)
I may try going through all of GtH and making notes, perhaps with the help of the comments - there's been a lot of insight offered there, including translations of signage. Maybe The Property of Hate as well, though as complex a world as that is, having a small central cast helps me.
