I am a great fan of RSS, since it allows me to keep track of numerous sites I would otherwise check manually. Especially with some webcomics that are rather irregularly updated this is a pain and much better with RSS. On that note I'd really like webcomic authors to not just provide a link to the strips but rather embed the image itself into the RSS which makes reading much more comfortable (and should reduce traffic on their site).

A few hours ago I hacked together two pretty ugly scripts that fetch a web comic for a fellow student and one for me and output the last 5 strips as RSS. Works fine for now, I'll see whether there are any problems with updates.

You can adapt to your own needs if you see fit.

UPDATE (2008–01–31 10:20): Code for bash.org was missing. This is fixed now.

UPDATE (2008–11–06 07:46): Code for ruthe.de adapted since the site changed in the meantime.

UPDATE (2009–02–29 14:16): RSS for bash.org was invalid when encountering non-ASCII characters in the text. Should be fixed now.

UPDATE (2010–04–14 12:40): Code for ruthe.de adapted again due to a small change in the site's layout.
