ComiX - Today's Time Waster

Spend a lot of time checking out comic strips on the web? Instead of surfing around or bookmarking dozens of sites, consider using ComiX, a free program (currently in beta) that aggregates dozens of popular strips, from Doonesbury to Garfield. The program has the look of a work in progress; the current version includes only comics whose titles begin with the letters A-H, and even in that group, there are some notable omissions (Dilbert!). There's also no UI to speak of; you can't customize it or designate favorites. Still, if you want to catch up on Dick Tracy or Heathcliff, this definitely makes it easier. Let's just hope for frequent updates; otherwise, it'll be a long wait for strips like Peanuts Classics and Wizard of Id.

A much better program is ComicViewer which has all the favorites, and tons of comics.

I wrote a IMO better program to recieve comics.
it has a nice and clean interface, comes with allot of good comics and it has an open xml based plugin interface that allowes you to view nearly every webcomic.
you can find it here: http://fapa.fa.ohost.de/nucleus/index.php?itemid=2&catid=2
