Now for some more l33t javascriptx0ring skillz. Since the Chicago Tribune doesn’t carry all my favorites comics, which I grew up on while reading the Columbus Dispatch, I’m lacking in my comic reading. And beyond that, I don’t even read the Trib. So, I decided I’d write a script that would display all my favorites on one easy-to-read webpage, retrieved from each of the comics’ own webpages. Well, some smartasses at a couple of the syndicates that publish these wonderful comics decided they’d be all fancy and use either an apparently random string of numbers in each filename or use a CGI program to detect whether the referring page is registered to show the comic or not. So unfortunately, I’m missing a whole bunch of my favorites, but if I had to pick my very very special favorites out of those, I think I lucked out as far as which ones I was able to access with no problems. So here it is.
