- sphars 3y agoI'm sorta working on this, but as an RSS feed, since there is a dedicated page per day, with 1-5 comics each day, for example https://www.thefarside.com/2024/01/31 https://www.thefarside.com/2024/01/31 They try to prevent basic scraping but I found a way around it using Selenium. Just haven't published it anywhere. The notice at the bottom has given me pause so I'm thinking of the best way to do this > No images or other content displayed on this Website may be reproduced, digitized, stored in a retrieval system, made available via any computer or wireless networks, transmitted or circulated in any form or by any means, without prior written permission of the copyright owner.
- jqpabc123 3y agoThey try to prevent basic scraping... Well, this mentality is the problem. Including an active link at the bottom of a single "daily" cartoon would likely be the best way to attract people to the site. I certainly wouldn't object to this link and would just pass it along on my own web site. It would essentially be an open invitation to their web site that a lot of my users would accept.
