Thanks everyone! Well, I just realized I'd done the page in Comic Sans (which is now forbidden) so I changed to Berlin Sans and increased font size. It's a little easier to read (I think) and it'll have to do for this chapter... Next time I will try something different!
Good thing you have this here :3! I've gone back and read when I first liked to the comic, but there have been a while lot more updates since then for sure!
For simple white text on a black background it could be a gif. Good tone separation for that only needs to be two colors. Definitely make the text readable.
A third of a way through. I had no idea The Godstrain was about this. lol. But it makes so much sense now! Looking forward to reading the rest of the recap tomorrow.
Yunno what else might help? You could try saving it as a PNG instead of a jpeg. PNG is a less lossy format... it'd really help with a text page like this; the letters should be sharper.
I guess I'm haunting my page during the day... Yeah I wanted this to be a synopsis of the entire story, so new readers wouldn't have to go read the entire backlog if they didn't want to, or so current readers could just reaquant themselves with everything. The whole thing is entirely optional - maybe I should put that in the page header...
See, now I'm actually going to have to do the animated gif thing. It might make these recaps less imposing if they only recount what happened in the last chapter instead of the entire story. Of course, then they wouldn't be as useful for new readers either. You can't win either way!
Should have done an animated gif with words going up the screen ala Star Wars. Or at least highlight pictures. Anything but a wall of tiny text that is unreadable on my smartphone. Like those of us without readers can really say anything. :-D

These story-so-far pages are always helpful.

Thanks Everyone!! But I do find myself agreeing with Tom and think it a little hard to read... I'm toying around with alternate ways to present it!

This is very helpful as a refresher, and also is just enjoyable to read!

I'd read the entire archive again, but this condensed form is helpful too =D

Forget the new readers... I mean... welcome new readers...

@Tom: Ahhhh... Okay... I'll look into making it bigger then...!

My brain struggles to tell the difference between black and white lines. The text on this page is so small that to me it looks like a strobe light.
KimLuster at 10:16AM, Jan. 4, 2016
@Banes: It just the same thing you read beginning of last chapter, with the most recent chapters highlights added! Feel free to skip entirely...!
KimLuster at 10:13AM, Jan. 4, 2016
@Tom: As in it's too blurry...? Or can't see at all? Maybe I should make the fonts bigger...

Another person on a phone here...haha. Gonna have to check it at home. Now what?? Do I go and WORK?!? Hmmmm...nah...

I can't read anything on this page.
