Still useful & great - Version: 2.3.2, 4/17/2008 10:11AM PST

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.
