You are too good to us Alexander. Thanks for all your hard work. Off to read Doonesbury....

Alexander Turcic · 12-30-2002, 05:01 PM

heh

I added Doonesbury.

Hm, I am not sure there are so many comics I could add from that list. Any suggestions? I could also create groups of comics, and they would be accessible through comics1.shtml, comics2,shtml, etc....

I am open for *anything*

specific · 12-30-2002, 10:30 PM

Love the page. Love this site. Thanks very much! Could you add Non Sequitur to the comics page?

Alexander Turcic · 12-31-2002, 06:46 AM

Non Sequitur - added

sUnShInE · 12-31-2002, 11:40 AM

Has anyone come up with a good way to view these comix? I can barely make out some of text (ex, Doonesbury)...the drawings are obviously fine.

Also, a couple aren't coming up... today I couldn't get Baby Blues or Beetle Bailey (not such a terrible thing, but worthwhile to note).

Alexander Turcic · 12-31-2002, 11:51 AM

@Sunshine:

1. good view. I think it all depends on your iSiloX settings, particularly the image properties of the channel. Did you resize the comic images? If yes, you could try to leave that check unmarked; then you have to scroll through the comic in your isilo viewer - but it would be fully readable. Or try to resize the image. Try something like width: 640 (or 960) and height: 320 (since the comics usually stretch to the sides). If you figure out a good setting, I would be happy if you could post it here.

2. some comics not coming up. Tthat happens sometimes and I have no control over it. It seems that sometimes the comic provider's bandwidth is exceeded. Only solution (I know of) is to try download the page at another time again.

Greets & a Happy New Year,

Alex

How about adding Zits, if it can be had? I really like that comic strip; I see so much of my younger self in it

Ha-larious coincidence.

Check out today's Foxtrot.

And, as always, thanks for your help.

saw9000 · 01-02-2003, 03:58 PM

Thanks for adding that one, Alex.
I notice a couple of things:
1. Some of the comics don't load, even though they are available if you click the link to the title.
2. Not all of the comics in your list are in the file.

Alexander Turcic · 01-05-2003, 10:38 AM

Scott, I updated the Comic definitions. Tell me if it is better now.

Alex

punkMonkey · 01-08-2003, 11:14 PM

I stumbled onto this site yesterday, and I must say I am very impressed! You have obviously put a lot of time and effort into everything here. Thanks.

The comic page is something that I have been looking for for a very long time. But I can't seem to see all of the comics that you have on the list. One example is Sherman's Lagoon and Calvin and Hobbes. Is it just me or do these not work yet.

Regardless, thanks for putting together such a great site

Alexander Turcic · 01-09-2003, 03:12 AM

Punk, the list is only what I *can* add to my comic page. If I added all of them, it would take a long time (and probably too much space) to hotsync them all. But everyone here can tell me his favorite comics and I will include them with the next daily update.

Btw I added Sherman's Lagoon and C&H (Sherman's didn't load up - sometimes that is the bandwidth protection of the comic suppliers).

saw9000 · 01-09-2003, 09:36 AM

Alex: I haven't added the channel, because I honestly don't know if I have enough space remaining on my MemStick to hold it all. As for the number of comics, when I load it from my PC, I count a total of 18 comics, as I recall, four of them unable to load. However, the list seems to be about 100 items long. Where does the difference come from?
