…or is this week’s comic defective?

Here is this week’s comic. When I read the text, I can infer that there are supposed to be a lot of of pictures. But the only picture that shows up for me is the first one, with the Plate Carrée projection.

Is anyone else getting this?

More to the point, can anyone link to a page that has all the pics for me to look at?

Yeah, I’m having some issues as well. When I looked at it earlier today, I got the first two pictures; now I’m getting the first picture, plus the picture that shows the earth after an ocean drop of 2km. 😕

Well, since someone is going to say it eventually anyway:

I, for one, welcome our new Dutch overlords.

It wasn’t working for me first thing in the morning, but later in the day it’s fine.

(Opera 12).

Odd. I was just reading it early yesterday and it was fine. Now, most of the maps don’t load.

Something’s amiss somewhere.

I get a popup info telling me that the browser is loading a couple [MathJax](http://www.mathjax.org/) javascripts. There might be a mix up in timing that sometimes happens that prevents stuff from loading at the right time and stuff gets sent to the bit bucket. Especially if the script is run off-site. Googling reveals some people having errors with stuff not loading while using MathJax, but not unrelated stuff like images.

Well, it worked for me today, so it’s all good, I guess.

It just looks like all the rest of us who gain weight when we get older.
