All the Garfield comics I could ever want

Friday, July 21, 2006

I downloaded this program called iStrip the other day. iStrip downloads a list of selected comic strips from the web and caches them on your computer. I set it to get some of my favourite comic strips – Calvin and Hobbes, Get Fuzzy, and so on. You can set the preferences so that it’ll download all available images, so if you don’t open up the app each day to get a new comic, you won’t miss out on the previous comics.

Well, iStrip managed to download what looks like all of the Garfield comics, starting from 1978. That is 10,260 images, and it’s over 300MB in total. Cool eh? Of course you can view the same comics via the website, but it’s much faster if you view can view it offline.
