    The usual trick for getting a permlink doesn't work on the
    new, improved GoComics.

    They also mislaid my account, so I can't answer the question
    in one of the comments. (Yes, I could sign up for an
    entirely new account, but I don't want to give data to
    entities that are careless with it.)

    GoComics also doesn't allow one to copy the credit line on a
    comment. It was posted by "Bilan".

    Tried and true method of getting a link to a specific comic:
    dilly-dally about getting around to sending the message

    When does it stop being an e-bike and becomes a motorcycle?


    An e-bike, by definition, has a motor.

    A two-wheeled vehicle with a motor is a motorcycle.

    An oak sapling is an oak. An elephant calf is an elephant.
    A domestic cat is a cat.

    And a lightweight motorcycle is a motorcyle.

    Some jurisdictions give lightweight motorcyles the
    priveleges of push-bikes, but it's still very, very wise to
    take motocycle-riding lessons before you mount one.

    The secret is that you go to the previous day and get that URL. Then
    just update the URL to today's date. For:
    https://www.gocomics.com/frazz
    the previous was
    https://www.gocomics.com/frazz/2025/08/01
    which becomes this to get the ebike content
    https://www.gocomics.com/frazz/2025/08/02

    However, this can become tricky if a new comic does not come out every
    day like Swan Eaters:
