Gocomics feeds are sometimes a day or more behind

Open jgbishop opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I'm not sure when the feed scraper runs, but it appears to be a day behind (and has been for much of this week). The Sunday strips are currently available, but the Saturday strips are the latest in the feeds I subscribe to.

I should clarify that some feeds are a day behind. I see others in my list that are current. Some of the ones that appear to be lagging include:

  • Breaking Cat News
  • Frazz
  • Pearls Before Swine

Several, however, seem to be up to date:

  • Lio
  • Scary Gary

Closed by mistake.

This issue is caused by this page linking to day-old pages.

Sometimes the links are up-to-date. Sometimes they're not.


Ideally comicsrss would be aware of the day, and try to find daily comics that are a "day behind", or guess at the current day's URLs.

I have some ideas floating in my mind of how to fix this in a quick, performant way.

Looks like this happened again today. I assume it catches up eventually right?
