Why am I getting an error message instead of your cartoons?

In the near future, maybe even tomorrow, you may venture into the cartoon vault and get this screen instead:

This is what's known as the CDSD, the Cartoons Dammit Screen of Death.

Platypus Comix is hosted by Toon Zone, that wacky wonderful animation fansite. It's a pretty sweet gig, with one big drawback: Toon Zone is wired like an old string of Christmas tree lights. So whenever something goes wrong in a part of TZ, every single other site on the server is affected in some way. Usually, this means my archive flips into this message.

But it could be worse. This poor fellow loses his entire site every single time. At this rate he'll never get his webcomic spun off into a video game like he so desperately wants.

The only remedy to the CDSD is patience. You'll have to wait until the problem is fixed. If it lasts several days, feel free to send me an E-mail, because on rare instances the CDSD will stick even after TZ is repaired. Dammit indeed.
