What comics are on the side depends always on what is available on the web. I am busy with an update for next month, and there are some Jack and Jill and Playhour in this update.

It’s working for me now, perhaps a temporary problem, that happens sometimes.

Just tried downloading the Annuals myself and got two responses. First the the files were infected and then that the file was incomplete. I just realized all the files I successfully downloaded were Stackum while the ones giving me problems are mediafire. Don’t know if there is a connection or not

The only thing that i can think of is that the problem is somewhere with Mediafire, the last weeks it’s behaving so strange for me also from time to time. It was soooo slow with downloading for a few weeks and suddenly last week the downloads were fast as lightning. I wanted to upload 12gb before i went to dinner, when i checked after 5 minutes i saw that everything was uploaded allready, i checked the map and files and yes they were there.
