Product Description:
Comictastic automatically grabs your favorite comics from the web, giving you unprecedented comic reading efficiency. Save yourself hours of mucking through the vasty deadwood of unfunny guff and syndicated slag; invigorate your life with fresh humor-infused morsels assembled in one easy-to-use application.
Features
- Support for 10 breathtakingly humorous comics built right in.
- Your favorite comic isn't supported? No problem! Just type in the URL and relax. No awkward plug-ins or HTML knowledge necessary.
- RSS and Atom support for comics that provide feeds (you can also use this feature to read news feeds, in a gimpy sort of way).
- Download comic archives to easily catch up on missed days.
- Save comics on your disk for later browsing using the handy built-in calendar.
- Scheduled refreshing—wake up to fresh comics, just like that!
- Simple, intuitive interface puts flimsy newsprint to shame. View your comics one at a time, or all at once, newspaper-style. It's your choice.
- E-mail comics to your friends using the built-in E-mail Comic feature, or just use drag-and-drop to do it your own way.
- Export comic "definitions" (the files that tell Comictastic how to download a comic), or import definitions created by others, enabling you to instantly add support for new comics.
- Zoom in on those tiny, hard-to-read comics—or zoom out! The possibilities are practically limitless!

Comictastic is still my favorite comic scraping software. I use it every morning to read the funnies on my Mac, as I have for several years. Sometimes it is a little tricky to configure it to get the comic I want, but (except for flash) is always does it. I love being able to see my 42 favorite comics without having to wait for & deal with al the blinking spinning ads on the websites. Yes, the developer said he has moved on. But the software still works.
If you don't buy a license, it displays one of several nag comics to ask you to pay. Simply click to the next or any other comic to clear that for awhile.
So everyday, all I have to do is launch Comictastic (automated via Cronnix) and press the down arrow to see each new comic. Those are all cached on my HD, with option of how long to keep, so performance is great, even on a slow internet connection. I haven't found anything that works as well as Comictastic for what it does.

This app does a wonderful job of collecting comix for my daily feeding needs. And it has not been abandoned as the recent INTEL update show.
