Comic Alert!

Cartoons and Comic Strips Via the Web, News Readers, and Email

From , former About.com Guide

While instructing my personal Comic Alert! account to incorporate another comic strip favorite, The Flying McCoys, I realized how grateful I am for this service. As part of my sworn duty as Humor Guide, I have battled all foes (two hungry cats and a particularly heinous telemarketer) to swiftly and heroically pass the vital information onto you, the home chuckler.

As the resource says, "Comic Alert! provides free RSS XML news feeds and email alerts for over 7,000 online comics. Sign up in seconds and start receiving your favorite comics automatically in your news reader or email client!" Additionally, subscribers are provided up-to-the-minute My Comic Digest pages online. Each of these customizable options collects the links to the latest releases for only the strips you request. Click on the individual items and you'll be transported straight to the cartoons.

I opted for the email delivery, so when I stumble to my computer in the morning, I open the fresh Comic Alert! message to easily access my first laughs of the day.

Comic Alert! is just a collection of bookmarks, you may say.

True, but the links are always in an updated batch which I can refer to throughout my workday's elaborate scheme of goof-off sessions. My computer's bookmarks area is a big mess anyway and the contents are out of sight and out of mind, so the emails prod me to check Zits, when otherwise I would have missed out.

If for some reason I do fall behind on a cartoon or many, Comic Alert! is the handy way to catch up. I don't delete the emails until I'm current and the Digest maintains my cartoons for weeks, accessible from around the globe. In short, you'll save scads of mousing effort and loading time, as you jump to your choicest funnies.
