Comic Strips for iSiloX?

[katlenski]

Okay, I have Dilbert, and I saw that someone had "translated" Garfield (for ComicGuru, anyway), but is there any way to get comics like those on uclick.com (http://content.uclick.com/comics.html) to download for reading on iSilo?

I'd love to be able to schedule an automatic download and then get a new comic strip each day. Are there any (syndicated) comics that are available like Dilbert is?

Thanks for any help...

I don't know if you want a bunch of comics on one page or what, but I there's a few options:

1.) Alex Turcic has a bunch of comics on one page that many of us download every day. The page includes Dilbert and Garfield, as well as about 10 or so others. We've been trying to come up with a good solution that meets individual demands, but this is what we got going so far.

2.) There's supposedly a way to perform a similar operation on the Houston Chronicle site. I've never investigated it. I'm happy with Alex's page.

3.) If you get the new iSiloX beta, and you use IE, you can clip whatever comics you want daily. They'll each come up in a separate file.

Head over to Turcic.com's forums and check the thread "Comics Special From Me to You". I believe you'll also see the HC discussion within this thread, and that may shed some light.

Wow! Turcic.com has *exactly* what I'm looking for. Thank you so much for pointing me in that direction...

I still don't get how that comics.shtml work on turcic?
we have to email him and ask for a comic so on the next day it'll appear?
I posted on there suggesting he shares with us the url's he uses to get the comics so we can manually put them into isilo ourselves.. cuz on his list sexylosers is on there, but i personally have no idea how to clip that website for it to work.

I believe the problem is that the URL for the actual images changes everyday, so Alex has a script written to handle that. So there wouldn't be a way to just put a URL and have just a comic show up. For a few comics, I went to the home page of them and used that for the URL in iSiloX, then I went through the URL filter and filtered out all the other images. All the text is still there, and the page doesn't look that great, but at least I was able to get one comic per page (not a big comic reader, only like a few, so I didn't want to download all those ones on Alex's comics.shtml page.)
