But what's wrong with hooking up the "prev" and "next" link at the bottom of each page to the appropriate page? That way the back button still works and again there's no need for javascript. As it is the presentation is a classic piece of Obtrusive Javascript.

What's the point of writing their own goPage() function in javascript when a browser can already handle previous and next?

I like the comic, I think it's a great presentation, but I'm baffled as to why they've done the above.
