Could you add support for Apathy Adventures and pictures for sad children? Thanks

Edit: another comic to add: bunny

 
zikman User

wondermark recently changed its layout and the alt text is no longer revealed. could you possibly fix this?

Great work!
Dinosaur Comics have an additional zinger in the "subject" line of the "comments" link on each comic's page. Could you add those, too?

 
anonymous_user User

I think you should increase the font size to 10. Looks nicer and is easier to see.

Just FYI, Achewood seems to have changed recently. You need to change line 66 from:
"achewood": ["http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/autaux"],

to:
"achewood": ["/comic"],

Thanks.

Thanks for this script. Some of the alt text was too long for all of it to be displayed, but this sorts that problem out.

@alexey_r: Done.

 
alexey_r User

Could you please add "The Non-Adventures of Wonderella"
(http://www.webcomicsnation.com/justinpie/wonder...*)?
Image URLs look like http://www.webcomicsnation.com/memberimages/*.png

To get this to work for XKCD and A Softer World:

Change line 53 (for ASW) to:

"asofterworld": '//img[starts-with(@src, "http://www.asofterworld.com/clean/")]',

Change line 56 (for XKCD) to:

"xkcd": '//img[starts-with(@src, "http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/")]'

currently, I have the following added to the script:
http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/*
http://www.xkcd.com/*
http://xkcd.com/*
http://xkcd.com/comic/*

I still can't see the xkcd alt text.

Today it’s working again. False alarm.

 
sharmard User

It’s stopped working on Achewood for me. Is it just me, or did the Achewood site subtly change again?

 
alberthinkl User

just got it but xkcd didn't work.

"http://xkcd.com/comics/"

should be
"http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/"

Version 0.4 fixes the Achewood image URL.
Also, adds 2 different styles for the text.

 
sharmard User

Suddenly, today, the text is no longer appearing for Achewood. I have tried the latest version here and at Adam’s site, but it still isn’t working.

 
claynferno User

thank you for the achewood script!

 
CortJstr User

I e-mailed the author. The version on his site fixed the qwantz.com issue and added the Dr. McNinja comic.

 
Graft User

Yeah, it's not working for Dinosaur Comics anymore. I didn't notice any changes in the site, but Ryan might have done something behind the scenes. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that qwantz.com has subdomains now, like that mario block posterchild one?

 
CortJstr User

It doesn't seem to be working for Dinosaur Comics for me anymore. Is this happening to anybody else?
