It is possible. I am just not sure about the legal aspects.

Currently, I don't store any comics on my server - the turcic.com link only provides external links to the comic images. As you can guess, also comics are copyright protected. To have comics displayed like on the jsmoriss site, I'd have to keep a copy of each image locally stored on my server (jsmoriss does that).

I will sleep over this problem and try to find a solution where I can provide single pages for each comic image and yet only provide external links.

Edit: for the time being, it *is* possible to de-select some of the comics on the turcic.com page. Right-click on each of the comic image you don't like, find out the characteristic part of its external link, and add it to iSiloX's Url Filters->Exclusion Filter. For instance, if you don't like to see "Ask Shagg", add the /shg/ wildcard to the exclusion filter. Similarily, if you don't like "Dilbert", add /comics/dilbert/archive/ as wildcard to the exclusion filter. See also screenshot attached. This solution is not as pretty as the one jsmoriss provides, but it is definitely more on the legal side and works well until I found out a better way.

Cheers
Alex
