When I try to click the links on your comic on DD, the links seem to go really crazy, shifting position as they get highlighted.
This feature is really irritating and makes the buttons hard to use.
I would strongly reccomend getting rid of it.

The other problem with crossovers is that they rely on the person reading being familair with who the crossover characters are.
For example- on the site "that guy with the glasses" they do lots of funny reviews of things. But sometimes they do crossovers with other reviewers. While this sounds great in theory, the main problem is that a lot of the time they cross over with someone I dont watch, so the joke is completely lost on me. Even if I go check who the guy is, thats basically just making me explain the joke so its not funny anymore.

Especially in niche area like webcomics, you cant gurarantee that everyone will have a knowledge of other comics that you include...or worse yet they might not like the other comic you are borrowing from (Jack is dumb....there, I said it!)

I just cant figure why it wouldn't be better to make a new character to fill that role, and make something unique people can care about rare then a pale reflection of an existing work.

I think using characters from other comics is generally a bad idea.
It always makes the work they appear in seem like the lesser work, and where is the need?
Why not just invent an original character instead to fill the same role?
The long term implications of two works existing in the same universe just provide further headaches for continuity.
I just cant see why you would want to go down that road.
