I fixed the bugs in the Ultimate Generator (Including Boo_penguin's, check the code)

In case you forgot the URL, it's http://fwirtfiles.atspace.com/ultimate_randumb.html

EDIT: I updated it again, it now includes every comic back to 1985. I could make it include every comic EVER but... Jon and Garfield looked different back then. CONTINUITY PEOPLE!!!

EDIT AGAIN: I updated it YET AGAIN to include a variable date input. Keep in mind that I did this all in one night.

THIS SHOULD BE THE FINAL EDIT: If you saw any problems with the last edit, they should be fixed now. Enjoy!

I made this one with a specific task in mind: have Garfield lay around.

I stumbled on to another generator and this is what I got:

It amazes me that the cartoons being made by these randomizers are funnier than the original Jim Davis cartoons.

What in blazes?

Apparently that's some really good coffee.

I like how Jon doesn't change facial expressions.

First and third didn't need locking.

First is awesome, second is weak, third is okay.

I like how the one with Jon talking about good coffee was the actual strip of the day in the newspaper.

He must be onto us....

As you can see I decided to do some pseudo Sunday strip. Does anybody have a database of the Sunday headers?

I started by locking Jon making his list. After locking a few more frames I came across Garfield saying, "I'm bored", but I got overzealous with the randomizer and clicked it before locking. You can probably tell that the I edited that frame. A recover/back button would be a nice feature for the randomizer. So would a Sunday strip generator, but I'm repeating myself.

After getting several frames that I thought would work well together I decided to do two strips; one from Garfield's point of view and the other from Jon's. I did Jon's first because it was easier and I think it works better anyway. I ended up throwing away a few frames I'd saved like Garfield's writer's block and a few other of him doing unrelated boring stuff.

I could have made actual Sunday format strips, but I thought the first one (Jon's view) work well without two more frames, and the other frames I had for the Garfield one didn't really add anything to it.

What do you think?

Edit: I took to long posting so Markio's post messed up my background color. Oh well, I'm not changing it now.

First one's great.

The Sunday headers are with the rest of the strips in the archives. But, like the panels, they're attached to the rest of the strip, and also you'd have to know which one's are Sundays.
