A note about my comics.com and gocomics.com recipes. I've noticed that reading multiple days is sort of painful as the most recent strip is listed first in the index, and (oddly enough) readers tend to show first things first. So you read the current strip before reading what happened in previous strips that often lead up to what's happening in the current strip.
If you read a strip daily, the current organization is probably best, but if you are exploring new strips and want to start at an earlier point, it's painful. You have to go to a later page, then slowly work back to front to get to each 'next' page.
A simple fix for this is to reverse the article order by adding this line to the recipe:
Code:
current_articles.reverse()
Put it right before this line (same level of indent for both):
Code:
return current_articles
Here is the gocomics code with this fix:
