The link goes along with something to click on. The item you click on is the name of the comic strip. If I understood you correctly, you said wanted to remove the name of the strip, and that leaves nothing to click on, so there's no way to get to that link. I'd leave the link on the image and remove the entire h1 tag.

As to the size of the image, I have never been able to get the recipe "comic_size=" to work.

That option controls the size of the image retrieved.

This may be because I am converting to .mobi.

It's not affected by the format, but by the ereader device you've told calibre you have. Your specified device causes calibre to reduce the maximum size of images to fit the device display. There's no reason to grab an image larger than your device can display because calibre will reduce the size anyway. That's probably why you saw no effect. I don't even know if that option still works, but it did when I wrote the recipe.

It did not work for me even before the merger. I adjust the size via CSS using pixels instead of percentages. One other manner of messing around with the image size is to get the "zoom" image from Gocomics. Since my present method of dealing with the image size is working, I have not messed around with the coding to obtain the zoomed image.

I'm not sure what the zoom image is, but perhaps it's the same as the parameter fetched by comic_size. That option controls what the site sends. The CSS controls how what is sent is displayed.

I maximize the space for the image and remove as much extraneous data as possible. Therefore, I strip the "Banner"; comic strip "Alink" and the "Author's Name". This leaves me with only the jpeg image and nothing more.

I don't use my own recipe either. I force my display to portrait, then rotate images if needed so that the long dimension is always vertical.
