I pluck several comics every day, and the three at ucomics don't work anymore. (Foxtrot, Calvin and Hobbes and Kudzu) I assume the file path format has changed. For example, here is Foxtrot's current file path:

http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2005/ft051003.gif

Here is the file I have in the ucomics list file:
comic_list.append({
'name': 'foxtrot',
'page': 'http://www.ucomics.com/foxtrot/index.phtml',
'expr': "images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/\d+/ft\d+\.gif",
'suff': '.gif',
'base': 'http://',
'title': 'FoxTrot'})

Any suggestions on how to change it so it will work? If you help me with Foxtrot, I can probably figure out the other two.

Also, For Better Or For Worse no longer has a contract with comics.com. The current file path on its website is :
http://www.fborfw.com/strip_fix/stri.../051003ysd.gif

What file would allow me to pluck this one?

Your help is really appreciated! Thanks!
