If Firebase isn't configured, add episodes directly to the COMICS array in the script block of webcomic.html:

{
    title:  "Episode 2: The Return",
    date:   "2026-05-08",
    panels: [
        { img: "panels/ep2-p1.png", caption: "It was a dark and stormy night..." },
        { img: "panels/ep2-p2.png", caption: "Suddenly — a noise." },
        { img: "panels/ep2-p3.png", caption: "..." },
        { img: "panels/ep2-p4.png", caption: "Just the cat." },
    ]
},

• Leave img: "" for a placeholder panel.
• Panel images go in virtuoso/comics/panels/ — 600 × 600 px recommended.
• Draw panels on the Doodle Pad, save as PNG, drop in that folder.
