You might want to check out an on-demand CDN like Amazon's CloudFront to speed that up some. What I’ve noticed is that the site HTML loads fine, but it’s taking forever to load the panels.

I don't typically like any of them, so take however you want to. But this is the best. This is seriously the best webcomic I have ever read.

Everything seems to be OK now, and the version on redlightproperties.com doesn't have the clicky-thingy interface. It's much easier to read this way. Also, you can flow right into the shiny newer material I've been creating all year.

Because, in New York at least, the buyer can rip up the sale contract if they decide they'd rather not live at 112 Ocean Avenue. Yes, just in time for Halloween, enjoy the spooky tale of <i>Stambovsky v. Ackley</i>! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stambovsky_v._Ackley (NY App. Div. 1991). Mr. Stambovsky bought the house from Ms. Ackley in Nyack, NY. Stambovsky was from NYC and was not aware of the folklore of Nyack, including the widely known haunting story surrounding the house. The court found that a house-buyer shouldn't be expected to have the house checked for poltergeists before moving in, so Stambovsky was able to undo the contract altogether.

The first series is also available at: http://www.tor.com/stories/2010/01/red-light-properties-chapter-1 I like the panel by panel presentation on the tor.com version, but it has its detractors. This is, however, a quality comic. The server seems to be burdened at the moment. The first series is also available at:
