Carolyn Hax live chat for July 28 fixed in comics aggregator

If you read Carolyn Hax through the comics aggregator (and you really should, she's amazing!), you may have noticed that there was no live chat listed on July 28, or on July 29 if you read the one-day-delayed version of her feed (which you probably should, because it's faster and more reliable).

“The Argyle Sweater” added to comics aggregator

At a reader's request, I've added The Argyle Sweater from GoComics to the comics aggregator.

I'd never heard of this comic before receiving this request, and when I went to look at it I laughed out loud at all of its five most recent comics, so I've also added it to my own daily comics reading. You shou

Comics aggregator is now significantly faster for some items
I fixed a couple of bugs, and now the aggregator should nearly always be loading pages in less than a second.

Three more late-breaking improvements to the comics aggregator
I've squeezed in another few improvements to the comics aggregator today:

When the aggregator knows what the "source" page is for a comic image, i.e., the official web page where that image can be found, it will link the image in the aggregator to it so if you click on the image you'll be taken to its sourc

By way of penance for not removing JumpStart from my comics aggregator much sooner, I have added Tom Tomorrow's This Modern World. It comes out early Tuesday mornings. There's also a "(1-day delay)" version in case you like to read your comics in the middle of the night and don't want

Copaganda comic strip JumpStart removed from comics aggregator
With its advocacy of "community policing" and "broken windows policing," JumpStart crosses my line, from a wrong but tolerable portrayal of American policing, to outright copaganda. I will no longer facilitate its dissemination.

Why I’ve removed “Pearls Before Swine” from my comics aggregator
Today, I removed the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" by Stephan Pastis from my comics aggregator. Here's why...

Over the years, Pastis has run many strips whose basic theme can be summarized as "Both sides in American politics are the same." He ran one like that just a few weeks ago. Then, yesterday
