Okay, you're the second internet friend I've met who reads Get Fuzzy. Something comically coincidental there. Maybe I don't get it because I don't get the paper anymore.

It's a great strip, if you can handle John[purposeful sic] Stewart or Stephen Colbert type humor. Darbey leans left, but his portrayal of Bucky Katt as an inconsiderate non-caring nazi is hilarious (though Mr. Conley often tries to portray the cat as conservative... whatever). The other two characters, Satchel, the knowledgeless hippie type dog, and the owner, a marginally more knowledgable hippie are often just as funny.

Bucky steals the show though.

Here's a cool perl cgi script to scrape for the last 30 days of Get Fuzzy comics as well as many others. You have to have a web page that accepts cgi, so I doubt it's for you, Le (blogs won't work). Still, it's kinda cool, so I'm putting it out there.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
#print "Content-type: text/plainnn";
print "";
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isd st)=localtime(time);
#The above $mon is one month behind already, because Jan = 0. This is good foor us though,
# since we are doing 1 month of comics.


$year+=1900;
$shortyear=$year-2000;
#that was just to fix the year into 4 digit and 2 digit formats (for the webpagenames later)



#User POSTed the comic strip name. Let's get it.
read (STDIN,$in,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
($useless,$comicname)=split(/=/,$in,2);
print "$comicname";
$dirname="comics";

#Some comics are in .../comics/... dir, while others are in .../creators/... dir. I'm goint to make a list of the ones in creators here.

if($comicname eq "workingitout") {$dirname="creators";}
if($comicname eq "bc") {$dirname="creators";}
if($comicname eq "wizardofid") {$dirname="creators";}



#Now I'm going to put together a new array and fill it with the old data, or get new data if I don't
#already have it.

if ($mon==0) {$mon=12; $year-=1;}
#The above line rolls it back to december if it's january.


foreach $o (0 .. 30)
{
if ($mon


Crud, haloscan makes mincemeat of the code, even if you put 'code' or 'pre' tags before it.

*sigh*

Don't use the above code. It's incomplete, and I have no idea how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Or more importantly, does anyone care?
