02/11/00 - Comics 2.13 - Fixed Major Registry Bug
If Comics is failing to remember your selections, you need to download 2.13, which fixes a small bug. The program would accidentally store your settings in the wrong key with the wrong name. Fixed.
02/10/00 - Comics 2.12 - Fixed Registry Bug
Oops, there was a bug in 2.11 (Bugfix) which caused it to not work if you didn't start it from the Comics directory. 2.12 fixes this.
02/05/00 - Comics 2.11 - Fixed IE 4 bug
Oops, there was a bug in 2.1 and the old 2.11 which rendered it useless for users of Internet Explorer that weren't 5.0 or newer. That's now fixed.
01/30/00 - What's In The Works...
I, Colin Dellow, and a friend who helped in the production of Comics, Michael Lawrie, have decided to join forces. We probably won't be producing programs together, as we have radically different compilers, but we will be using each other's software to increase our portfolios. Currently, Michael is working on an app to make joysticks useful outside of games, and I'm working on a program that will allow you to easily search for news stories and news photos.
01/28/00 - Comics 2.11 Released! 2.11 has been released. It is meant to be a bugfix for King Features comics and for dialup users who had problem with the automatic download feature. For the first time, custom proxies are supported. This will hopefully be the second last release. 2.2 will come out sometime soon and have the following requested features: (if time permits and whatnot)
01/14/00 - Comics 2.1 Released! Yes, it has been released!
You can find it on the download page. NT support is actually there for
real! Automatic downloading is provided by Comics, not the task scheduler!
It supports almost 150comics, plus two online zines. It supports IE4+,
NS4+ and Opera 3.21+. However, you must have IE4 installed on your computer
to use Comics 2.1. That's not a very big deal, most computers come pre-installed.

that you produce, please contact me at mhowitt@mail.pris.bc.ca.
What users have
said about Comics... If you like comics,
you'll love this program! [...] I was very impressed by this program and
consider it a personal pick! - Some Anonymous
Reviewer At TUKIDS (Comics was given a 5 Cows rating, top of the scoring
system!) I can't live without
my daily comic fix! This is a great program. -
K. Burt ... congratulations
on writing a good program. - S. Huberty I use your program
every single day. - K. Oddson [Note: That's
the way it's supposed to be used! ] Very neat.
- K.V. I enjoy your comics
program, it's pretty sweet
- M. Meyers
I really
enjoy being able to catch up on favorites as well as sample some comics
that are not carried by the local paper.
- C. Sedano
I have loaded Comics
(and love it!), but I'm having a problem with the j.ello report.
- M. Mayse [Note: The j.ello
problem is fixed.] First of all,
thanks for a great program. It may be small, but packs a punch. I use
it everyday! -
M. Westbrook I've had your comics
program for a week and I don't know how I ever got along without it. [...]
It's brilliant. Thank you.
- A. Litton The comics is of
course the only page I definitely read in every newspaper. I'm actually
using this to fill in the gap of my other favorites I don't see in my
daily paper.
- M. Aldrich [Note: Whether you've gone totally electric and miss the
comics section, or just want some variety, Comics is a fun app that you'll
enjoy.] (Last
