    It just so happen that I was answering questions today and the first
    question was if tests made me nervous. I replied "I view tests as prey."
    Thus, I will add 3 generals (for each war) to your 3 answers

    Now gocomics want me to switch off my adblocker or pay 2,99 dollars each month.
    So that's the end of gocomics.

    They only allow the last 2 or 3 weeks of comics to be displayed without payments anyway.

    Open the page information dialog if your browser has one, and look for
    the og:image metadata, that will at least give you the strip. I had to
    do that here, not because of their nagging, but because they use
    Javascript to load it in the document, even though they link directly to
    it in the metadata...

    Apparently, that's what happens when you wait more than a month to try
    the link.
    I don't like it, but I can understand it.
