So tiny, those words, and no place to click through to see it bigger. Help?

Much. Another way to do it is to wrap a small version of an image in the <a href> tag for where the image is stored online - then ppl can click through and see it at the original size; alternatively, sticking large version under cut tag works well too.

I think most browsers now honour control-shift-plus to enlarge, control-minus to shrink and control-0 to reset for images as well as text now.

(I was very pleasantly surprised to discover this in a similar situation)

Why isn't he carrying the guitar case by the handle? I've never ever seen a guitarist carry the case this way -- and electric guitars are frackin' heavy.

Love, C.

Linkee for those of us who have zero idea what this comic is and might want to read more?

It's Bad Machinery and I have redone the link so clicking on the picture takes you to the comic's home page.

Bad Machinery is a sequel to Scary Go Round which is in turn a sequel to Bobbins. The archives are huge.

This is swiftly turning into a "new hobby for which I just don't have enough years left"...

But oh so worth it. John Allison's stuff is marvellously rewarding, and funny with it.
