Hi,

This looks like it has the makings of a great app! However, at the moment, I can't get any comics other than Garfield - the header doesn't give a dropdown of choices for me.

Thank you again for doing this!

Same for me. I have tried tapping the menu and get the About and the header that has the word Garfield and nothing happens.

Like Bujin, I cannot get any comics other than Garfield.

Also I cannot scroll left to right (in either portrait or landscape mode), thus cannot see most of the third frame in landscape mode, or part of the second and any of the third in portrait mode.

Hey.
Sorry for the bad news, but scrolling doesn't work =/.
Also, I also can't change between comics.

Hope you get this fixed! I love the idea.

How about more comics than just a few. How about all the comics from:
http://comics.com/
http://www.arcamax.com/comics
http://www.uclick.com/
(You get the idea)
Then let us check off in preferences which ones we want to see.

THen I can just get rid of my Comic widget from Netvibes (Wich is a pain to use anyway)
