Comics missing

Bionic Monkey

Specifically, I found The Merch from January 5, 2005 was missing. I found the newspost through Google (which gave me the date), but the link in there only lead to the latest comic. Typing a direct URL to the comic for that date brought it up though.

Someone in H/A said the first Fruit Fucker comic is also missing. I think he may have meant the first one showing the Fruit Fucker though.

Thought you guys might like to know.

Ok, I'll make you a deal. If you can provide the dates of all the comics that you found missing, I'll fix em

Bionic Monkey

Well, the Merch is the only one I've found missing so far. The guy in H/A just reminded me of it, so I thought I'd let you guys know.

Looks like the Fruit Fucker comic he was talking about is from February 11, 2002. Direct link still brings it up as well. http://img.penny-arcade.com/2002/20020211l.gif

Should main-site bugs go elsewhere? I thought I remembered that the admins here handled that stuff as well.

Edit: Direct link for The Merch. http://img.penny-arcade.com/2005/20050105l.jpg

Make a thread in here with mainsite bugs.

7-22-2002. It's listed as M$ in the archive, but goes to "With Friends Like These" (which I guess is 7-19-2002)

I don't want to make a new thread for this, but on the topic of mainsite bugs:
The "Forum" tab link is not consistent throughout all the pages on the mainsite. For example, on the cool stuff tab, it links to "phorums" and opens in a new window.

Yeah I know. That I am not going to change. Each page manages it's own links, and I would have to hand update every page.

The 9/23/02 comic page swhows the 9/20/02 comic.

Couldn't you make an html file with the bar, update them all once, with an include tag inserting the html file into there, then whenever/if something changes, just change the html file?

I didn't setup the schema for the site when it was founded so I couldn't setup a full templating system.

The comics for Oct. 1st and 3rd 2003 are also missing.

Here's the news posts for those days.
10-1 and 10-3

Jazz Samurai

12-28-2002 is wrong. It's 2002's "We're Right Awards", numbers 3 2 and 1. I was reading the archives and wondered what "won" that year, and the comic just isn't there. I couldn't find it doing a manual URL thing either, so I don't know if anything can be done.

I feel like eating some strawberries.. perhaps in the form of a shortcake.

I think they just decided not to finish up the "We're Right Awards" that year. Check the newsposts on the day it should have appeared.

Chaotic Descent

damn. after reading the "we rebuilt the site over the weekend", this thread confirms my suspicions.
there was a recent comic on Star Wars 3, where Anakin was showing uh... what's that chick... Amadalia or whatever (who cares really) his stand-in kisser since he went all gross and dark-side.

PS: your titles in the archive listing make it really hard to find things. I guess they're not meant to be descriptive at all. (and it's been that way forever. I remember having the same problem years ago back when the art was completely different)

I don't think that was Penny Arcade.

Dog

As near as I can tell, the infamous "Drink my juice, it's nutritious" Fruit Fucker comic is missing.

Do a search for "Fruit" in the archive, and you'll see a link to "Wow" that points to 2002-02-11. The comic that comes up is instead "Hmm, Indeed", which is actually 2002-02-08. If you click next, you get 2002-02-15, which is "A cautionary note". If you try to pull up a direct link to the 2002-02-11 image, you get page cannot be found.

Clearly something is amiss.

I've noticed that the Comic 'Cheesehole' no longer appears in the archive. It was a hillarious one. I miss it so.

Dog

http://penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2000-09-05

This should be the Sarge vs. Klesk Red & Blue Rock Paper Scissors comic, where Sarge wins with a rocket launcher. Archive search shows the title as RPS, but the Archive drop down shows "Our Finest Work To Date" with a banner ad for Chase Platinum card.

Image shown is http://img.penny-arcade.com/2000/20000905l.jpg

I noticed that the comics for 4/16/04 and 8/23/04 are missing in the archive. When you read the news post and click on the comics url it links you to the previous day's comic.

Undead Scottsman

The archive is also missing the "EB Games EXPOSE" comic about the various quotes from the EB employee handbook and the PA crew's sarcastic remarks to them. Not sure when that was though.

The following is an incomplete list of comics that are not in the archive, but I found direct links for, this includes some of the comics already mentioned in this thread. It is incomplete because I forgot to copy down the URL for the first several I found, at that point it hadn't occured to me to post a list here. I can say though that I was able to find every strip already mentioned. I am still unable to find the following dates, which I'm assuming had comics:
2001-02-02

That one also appears to be not loading correctly, it's got a jaggy sort of line through the middle and doesn't load all the way down.

Edit: nevermind about the older comic in today's newspost. I'm crazy, it's in the archive.

The strip "Duck!" is apparently missing. It's alledgedly from 01/07/2002 (according to the search results), but there is no strip from that date. If I recall correctly, that is the cheaters diagram thing...right? Anyway, I can't find it through convential means.

The second strip in the continuity, where gabe fights a ninja for the OXM magazine is 'missing'.

Yeah, it was the "All cheaters are fuckwads but not all fuckwads are cheaters.. Hmm.. the Duck raises an interesting point."

Also, I couldn't find hte "gabe glues his hands to his face" comic. :S

Also, there's quite a few copied comics.. Here's a list but I probably missed some
