Hi and welcome!

Hello! Or did I already say that? Welcome! (I swear I said that already...)

Anyway, I have a few constructive comments after your first foray into creating explanation pages. You did really well for a first timer! But, the imagesize option in the {{comic}} header should only be used to resize absurdly large comics like 954: Chin-Up Bar or 1079: United Shapes; but due to a bug in the way this specific wiki is set up, image resizing isn't working correctly, so we're leaving it blank all the time until there's a fix for it. Category links don't need the leading colon, that's just if you want to make an inline link to the category page, also, the comic header takes care of adding the Category:Comics category. Second-to-last, if there's a wikipedia page for something you're talking about, add a link to the wikipedia page using the {{w}} template (usage is described on the page linked). Last big one, transcripts only use 1 indent, and we put an extra return between panels.

You'll pick up more tips and tricks as you keep editing, so please, keep editing! If you want a great big, huge, obnoxious compendium of helpful tips I'm compiling a Style Guide to help newbies. Thanks for helping to expand the wiki.
