Product Description:

iComic is the successor to the popular iBert app. Where iBert only supported the Dilbert strip, iComic supports a plugin system that can download any comic you have a plugin for.

iComic comes with one built in plugin, with more available at http://homepage.mac.com/xmlguy/iComic/plugins.html. To request a comic or to get involved in plugin development, visit the iComic forum at http://www.webcomicforums.com/phorum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=27.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed some issues that caused iComic to fail on 10.3. Specifically there appeared to be changes in the way Perl did buffering, that would cause iComic to wait indefinitely for Perl to send data back.
I don't consider this to be a full release, as there are still some quirks I noticed, but the app should at least be functional now.

This build has NOT been tested on MacOS X 10.2 (Jaguar).

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

iComic is open source and the source code can be found here:

If you are a developer please consider picking up it's development (no development has been done for nearly 5 years) and restore it to the great app it was intended to be. Please post your progress in the Yahoo discussion group.

(I'm not the original developer, just someone who loves iComic)

iComic ReviewBeach Ball of Doom - Version: 3.0.3, 5/28/2006 10:04AM PST

This program has been one of my favorites for a long time. It saddens me that there has been no signifigant updates in forever. iComic is one of my most often crashing programs. It seems to get confused a lot, and simply shuts down. The spinning beach ball is quite annoying, too.

That being said, one can't blame the program for plug-ins breaking. The comic sites change their code from time to time. iComic does have a very good feedback group on Yahoo! where coders often fix plug-ins that break as soon as someone mentions it. I've never had to wait too long for a plug-in to be fixed.

My biggest complaint about iComic is the frequent and often unexplained crashing. I don't like widgets, so I will not be using iComic 4. I still hope for an update to iComic 3 one day. I still love this program, tempermental as it can be, and don't see myself switching any time soon. You simply can't beat the price.
