pluck comics

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!

Sorry, I can't help but to offer an alternitive, Houston Cronical Custom Comics page. Choose your comics and click the build button. Pluck the resulting URL, a single page with up to 8 comics, or multiple pages.

Plucking Comics

I've tried this unsuccessfully with other pages; I'm looking forward to trying this one. Thanks for the link.

UPDATE: This page works like a charm. There is a bit of a problem with comics drawn in color, but the site addresses this issue if you're inclined to do a work-around. In my case, B&W was good enough. I'm very pleased.
