Just When I Thought GoComics was Starting to “Get It” with RSS

I logged into gocomics.com the other day and noticed that they are now providing RSS feeds for each comic individually… GREAT! I though this was awesome and they were starting to finally “get” the whole RSS/web 2.0 thing. But lo and behold, when I check my feeds this morning, this is what I see…

go comics rss feed problem google adsense

Notice anything missing? Yea, the actual comic! When you subscribe all you get is the date and some nice greedy-looking Google ads in the content. I thought I signed up for comic cartoon delivery, not an advertisement delivery. This is pretty darned sucky of them.

Does anyone know where I can get comic RSS feeds that have the actual comic in the feed? Thanks.

    Hey Brad,

    You can sign-up for a genius account and receive your favorite comics in an ad free email each day. Hope that helps.

    That’s frustrating and pretty checky of them. I wonder if they realise their mistake?

    I think the easiest way to find what you are looking for is to check…. RSS directly :) Just search for them, lots of them are available at google

    Check out http://comics.com/ Sign up for an account, create a list of favorite comics and subscribe to an RSS feed that shows the comics in the feed. I’ve been using it for a while now and it works great.
