Comics available on Arcamax not listed

Open ladewig opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

With GoComics blocking via robots.txt, I was going to switch over to Arcamax for the strips that were there, but when I look at the list, they're not available anymore in dosage. Looking at the arcamax.py file I see references that they have a duplicate in GoComics, but since GoComics isn't working anymore, can these be put back?

I'm not sure. The fact is that the image quality on GoComics is better, for example:

  • https://featureassets.gocomics.com/assets/e77372d0069e013e9d29005056a9545d
  • https://resources.arcamax.com/newspics/337/33784/3378430.gif

If possible, I would like to only have one copy of each comic in Dosage...

Better image quality is great, but it doesn't do anyone any good if they can't download the comic. As often as publishers change and break things, I think the flexibility to choose a different source was valuable.

It's a moot point for me though. I finally broke down and subscribed to GoComics, so now I'm only using dosage for things I can't get there.
