Initial Comment:
Please add the userfriendly.org comics strip.

The current daily strip page is always at:
http://www.userfriendly.org/

The strips for other days have an encoded url which is
obvious (e.g., for the strip of Oct 17, 2006):
http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20061017

The image file itself has a less obvious url:
http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/06oct/uf009617.gif

However, I think the image url can be easily extracted
from the HTML code in the pages retrieved from the
above urls.

Thank's in advance.
Congratulations for the fine program.

Hi!

User friendly has been suggested before
(http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1372&group_id=1629&atid=2517),
but as you have provide wider information, we will treat
this bug as a new one.

User Friendly comics seems to have date encoded into the
URL, but it also has a number in the filename, as you said.
We have check that this number is relative to the month: 

* 0096 for oct '06
* 0095 for sep '06
* 0094 for aug '06
* ...

Maybe we can find a solution to implement it without being
too dirty, before doing a new release. We do not plan to
parse the HTML to find the comic URL at this moment, but
maybe in future development.

Thanks for the feedback and for using buoh.
