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!

1: The "Comic" menu should be renamed "File".
2: The image resize commands should be moved to a "View" menu.
3: The magnification for comics should be saved somewhere, so whenever I view the same comic it goes to the previous magnification instead of forcing me to resize it.
4: The image resize introduces serious blur, I'm not sure if your using a simple resize hack to do that or if you wrote the resize, but if you wrote it try and remove some fuzziness.
