In fact, I'm using the print version for the articles:

http://www.pagina12.com.ar/imprimir/...011-09-22.html

The actual article is contained into this tag: <div id="cuerpo">.

But before this, there's also more content needed for the articles (title, subtitle, author), with tags <h5>, <h1>, etc.. These would be excluded by the keep_only_tags, and if try to include them also, the page that have the comic strip would show these tags, of course.

I think the way to go would be, as Starson suggest:

Basically, you want a link to an html page with an img tag on it that holds your strip. If the site doesn't have a page like that (it should, otherwise how do you see it) you can build it yourself in the recipe.
These would override the symptoms you describe:

Calibre is expecting a HTML-page as URL. You passed the address of a GIF-image to calibre, which was interpredet as a HTML-page an produced the character garbage you've seen.
But I don't know how to "build the HTML myself". :-(

Maybe you know, pete? ;-)
