Progress indicator for the comic

I've added a progress indicator at the top of the comic page and also upgraded the speech bubbles. Apparently they weren't up to par, as they are usually a last minute scribble addition to a comic page :D

Here's the comic progress indicator. It is a real-time image, showing how much has been done on the next comic page.

Someone over at the GFL TF2 servers, was curious about the comic and after he read it remarked that he did like it. But thought the speech bubbles were all over the place. Making it hard to follow the exact order, in which they should be read.

[GFL]Fortune, being his nickname. Also found a possible interface improvement. He wanted to know where the latest comic link was. It seemed, although it does exist, it was hidden with the last and final next links in the navigation linking directly to the latest page permalink.

Which seems logical, but in effect hides the location which shows the latest comic page. This is has been changed accordingly.

It also seems I am not really able to keep up the pace with 2 comics a week. Now with the new comic progression image above the comic, I think it will at the very least give a better overview when the next comic page will be available.

I just wanted to thank [GFL]Fortune for the feedback! And here's the comic in question with the newly introduced speechbubblies :P

Yeah, well without that feedback I would have kept scribbling in speech bubbles and not pay much attention to the "bubble order" either :P
