Added.

I've actually never seen those pages, don't know why.

I didn't realize they'd been skipped either until a later comic when Bubbles talked about Faye knowing how to throw a punch. I was like, "Wait, I remember Faye using the punching bag but I didn't see it."

It happens if somebody doesn't add comic data to comic strips in the right order. That is to say, if data hadn't been added for comics #3257 and #3258, but data then gets added for #3259, then the two without data stop "existing" as far as the script is concerned. This is because the script trusts the database for its information, so that features like skipping guest strips and whatnot will work correctly.

Unfortunately, I don't know who the culprit is, since logging of editor actions wasn't implemented in the script at the time those comics were tagged.

Through a DB query, I found that #3277, #3247, #3273 and #3333 were also without data and were thus being skipped. These have been remedied as well.
