New feeds for Dilbert, Penny Arcade, W.T. Duck

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/09

Now that Yahoo Pipes is stopping, Chris Bernard rewrote his Dilbert/Penny Arcade/W.T.Duck feeds and published source on GitHub: https://github.com/cbenard/comicfeeds/

If you use Feedly, and some (or all) pictures don’t show up for the Dilbert feed, then that is because of Feedly caching content. Use a parameterised URL fixes this: http://comicfeeds.chrisbenard.net/view/dilbert/default?something=something
