The comics are back online. Sorry about the downtime, but the data model needed to be redesigned. I never realized a stupid web toy would need a redesign of its data model, but here we are. Anyway, let me know if you notice any quirks.
Here's the main concept in generating random frames. First, choose a random strip. Then, find all the actors defined for that strip. Choose one of them at random and then choose an image in which they appear. This will be the first frame. Now choose an image that has the same actor as in the first frame. That's the second frame. Now, there's a 10% chance that the last frame will not require the actor to be in it, which puts some variation in the comics types.
The above method should, overall, keep the comic sequences from getting too surreal.
The management page for all of this is currently mind numbing, but it gets the job done. If anyone has some twisted desire to make frames for a random comic strip, let me know or just do it if you have the ability. However, I'm real tired so I'm going to go to bed.
