+Using the mentioned method, the last available transcript on xkcd for [[1608: Hoverboard]] can be found at https://xkcd.com/1608/info.0.json. However, an error occurred during the combination of transcripts with other details. The subsequent two comics after Hoverboard do not have transcripts, only the accompanying details such as title, date, and title text. Then, the transcripts resumed, but for the comic released two numbers prior. Therefore, the transcript for [[1609: Food Combinations]], which should have been on https://xkcd.com/1609/info.0.json, was instead "released" on https://xkcd.com/1611/info.0.json, where the transcript for [[1611: Baking Soda and Vinegar]] should have been. The pattern continued, and the last comic with a transcript is [[1674: Adult]], with the transcript for that comic found three comics later under [[1677: Contrails]] on https://xkcd.com/1677/info.0.json. After [[1674: Adult]], no more json transcripts have been provided.
