I If you were included in the comic where were you? This can either be an actual inclusion or just a character that you think would be you. This includes the page number, Frame, and part of the frame if needed. Ip###f#bc Example: Ip20000706f3mr would mean that you relate to the character in the middle right of the third frame on the July 06th, 2000 page (this would make you empathize with "Angel").

p# the page number
f# the frame number

bc Bottom Center
br Bottom Right
