I was really hoping that there was a way to get the month category to have a default, similar to the comic template, where it adds a ".jpg" to the end of the page name.

How does the comic template do that? Is there a way for me to look through the code for these pages without being an admin?

You should always be able to view code for any of the templates by trying the edit button on those pages. You won't be able to submit revisions, but you should be able to see what's in there.

The comic template does it through the use of simple if than statements that DPL doesn't inherently support. (It does, to a certain extent, but not to do what we want in this case). Basically, the comic template says, "If there's no image specified, than use the title and add .jpg to the end as the image."
