Here's the second beta:

http://stripshow.monkeylaw.org/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=stripshow-2.0b2.zip

Notable differences:

• The colorful playful theme that used to be the stripShow Sandbox is now a child theme called ComicalStrip, and the stripShow Sandbox is kind of generic. I figured that would make it a little more universal.
• An additional child theme, Golden, is also included
• I've added lots of action hooks to the template, so you can add and remove functionality without altering the parent theme. Golden is an example of this — I've stuck previous and next arrows to the sides of the comic, like Diesel Sweeties has.

As always, I'm desperately seeking feedback on this version. If there are no bugs, I think this might just be 2.0.
