Yeah, I got an email this morning. The link leads to a page with one comic on it, and a bunch of thumbnails. According to their help section the pro accounts have the option for all comics on one page, so that’s probably it.

I’ll use this unless and until I can find a better option - it’s certainly better than nothing, but the clicking through is massively annoying since I like to read lots of comics. Beggars can’t be choosers, and I’m too cheap to pay for an account so that’s just the way it is.

Here’s what I do:

Click on the first thumbnail. Look at the URL in the address bar of your browser, and note the last number is ‘0’. Highlight it, replace with ‘1’, hit ‘enter’. The second comic will open in a new window (in Firefox, at least). Continue by entering sequential numbers (so if you have 20 different comics, keep doing this until you get to ‘20’.

It’s a bit involved, but I find it faster than clicking each thumbnail.

huh. The email I get has multiple, full sized comics attached, and when I go to My Comics Page at gocomics I get a full page with all my comics.

Every day, I click on my bookmark to Pibgorn on gocomics. When I’ve read it, I select “comics” at the top of the page, select Comics A-Z, then open a new tab for each of the ten dailies I read. As I read each one, I close its tab. Then I go leave gocomics and go through all of my favorite webcomics.

Whole ritual takes me about fifteen, twenty minutes, tops. I don’t need to have my collection made up for me; it’s a good way to wind down after a shift at work.
