Hi, and welcome to Irregular Webcomic! This is the first strip with an annotation, which you are currently reading, and by a strange coincidence also the first strip I ever made.

In these annotations, I sometimes talk about what inspired particular strips, or technical details of the strip production, or the script writing process, or even explain the more obscure jokes. If you'd rather not see these sorts of comments, you can access a version without annotations at the non-Modern Tales Irregular Webcomic! site. There you can disable them by clicking the link in the navigation box. I know you could just not read them, but hey, if you don't want to read them, why even load them? So I offer this configurability. You don't need to use it, but it's there if you want it. Nice, huh?
