RSS feeds of comics sites usually contains the links to a webpage but not the strip images.
This module iterates on the items on a feed and parse the webpages to create a new feed with embedded comic strips.
Supported websites:
- GoComics
- Dilbert.com
The list of parsers is meant to be extensible, see
lib/parser.js.
PRs are welcome.
Inspired by gocomics-scrape and implemented it using Node.
