Getting The Side Bar Besides The Comic In Either Sandbox Or AutoComic

I was struggling to work out how to get the normal Wordpress Sidebar to go besides the comic using Sandbox, but I gave up and decided to settle for the Comic Sidebar instead. Unfortunately choosing the 1 column layout to get rid of the unused main Sidebar messes up the formatting and sends the Comic Sidebar below the comic image. So I gave up on that and thought placing AutoComic within a specific area of my template would result in what I wanted, but AutoComic overrides everything and takes up the whole width of the screen.
Basically what I want to know if is there any way to get the Comic to show besides just one sidebar?

I'm having trouble visualizing what you're describing. Can you link to an example page?

I've got this one too: http://aetherbrigade.com/shop/…..web-comic/
I made sure that the post is set to vertical, but it didn't change. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here…
I had an even stranger occurence when I tried to have two widgets in the Autocomic sidebar. My etsy mini widget somehow replaced everything (Javascript issue?) So I've taken that one off (widget with text and link to email still there and below the comic for you to see).
This is the etsy mini widget code (I hope it doesn't break the forum):

I'm afraid the only way I know to get the AutoComic Sidebar to actually be on the side is to edit CSS. There isn't a whole lot of formatting that goes into it on stripShow's end… I'll see if I can figure out what you'd need to override.

OK, I reacquainted myself a little with the CSS of Autocomic. The following CSS should override stripShow's:
#autocomic div.comic {
float: left;
}
#autocomic ul.autocomic-sidebar {
float: left;
clear: none;
}
Unfortunately, the autocomic.css file is loaded AFTER your theme's style.css, so that clear:both that's attached to the ul is going to override it. You will probably have to edit autocomic.css for now. Sorry about that.

It looks like there is an interface for manipulating the css in the dashboard>stripShow>autocomic>style tab, but I couldn't figure out what format it wants, or maybe I just don't know the right class to refer to; I tried just manipulating img directly in order to limit the width (width:60% sort of thing), to no avail. Is there more information on using that feature somewhere? I couldn't find it on the wiki, the documentation or the forums, but maybe I missed it.
It sounds like you are recommending editing this file directly: "wp/wp-content/plugins/stripshow/css/autocomic.css" (There are 4 other "autocomic.css" files in various directories…)

Oops, yeah, sorry that's confusing. That's the one I mean.

Does that mean that dashboard>stripShow>autocomic>style tab>insert css doesn't yet do anything? Or can I get an example of how to use it?

Hello there,
I've considered using stripShow for my site, but believe I am encountering the same problem listed above on this thread: when stripShow is used, it disables the sidebar from page templates that utilize one.
Is there any more current (or correct) information available as to how to prevent this from happening?
In the meantime I've currently disabled stripShow and am trying to use Webcomic on my site, but if you need to see the condition in action, I can reconfigure stripShow into the mix; just let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Oh, and by "using stripShow", I also mean Autocomic, specifically.
