And I realised, if it were implemented as a scraper it would also work to follow existing comics that don't have an rss feed or don't include the image. A friend suggested <a href="http://www.dapper.net" rel="nofollow">Dapper</a>, which does the scraping part but not the incremental-update part. I had a go implementing but barfed (embarassingly enough) on making an rss feed containing images. (Late-night coding, gin-and-tonic...)</p> Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking.

I like your extrapolation a lot, though, and I'm going to have to think about implementing that for Ommatidia.</p> A similar idea from a few years ago: Mobdex, which I believe is just an interface on Project Gutenberg, will put a daily chunk of an ebook into your ID-labeled RSS feed.
