GrabCartoons

Current version: 2.4 (ChangeLog)


Download | SourceForge project page

GrabCartoons is a comic-summarizing utility. It is modular, and it is very easy to write modules for new comics.

Note: To avoid depriving free comic web sites of their well-deserved traffic, grabcartoons does not download the comics to the local machine. Instead, it creates a page with links to the comics at their original locations. Therefore, when a page generated by grabcartoons is viewed, the comics are downloaded from their original pages and not from local copies. Furthermore, the link to the graphics are extracted from the comics' web pages, which grabcartoons downloads when it runs. Finally, each comic in a grabcartoons-generated page is a link to the original web page.

You can see a sample of grabcartoons output here.

Here's the list of comics for which we currently have modules (this list is generated from the subversion repository, so some of these may not be in the latest release yet):

If you write any new modules, please share them with me! You can post them at the feature requests tracker, and I will add them to a future release.

You can download the current version from the download page at sourceforge.net.
